Community language learning

(CLL)is an approach in which studen

ts

work together to develop what aspects

of a language they would like to

learn. The teacher acts as a

counsellor

and a

paraphraser

, whilethe learner acts as a collabor

ator,

although sometimes this role can be

changed.

There are 5 stages of development in this

method.

Birth stage: feeling of security and belonging

are established.

As the learners' ability improve, they achieve a

measure of independence from the parent.

Learners can speak independently.

The learners are secure enough to take

criticism and being corrected.

The child becomes an adult and becomes the

knower.

Weaknesses CCL requires a number of conditions

that may make it difficult to use inmany situations.

To be most effective, it requiresteachers who are specifically trainedin this method and also, ideally,trained in counseling techniques.

CLL requires bilingual teachers andsmall, homogeneous classes.
