The Community Language Learning Method takes its principles from the more general Counseling-Learning approach.

It was developed by Charles A. Curran.

Curran believed that a way to deal with the fears of students is for teachers to become‘language counselors.’.

Consider not only students’ intellect, but also have some understanding of the relationship among students’ feelings, physical reactions, instinctive protective reactions, and desire to learn.

‘whole-person’ learning


Emphasis

1- In the early stages, typically the students generate the material

2- Later on, after students feel more secure, the teacher might prepare specific materials or work with published textbooks.

3- Particular grammar points, pronunciation patterns, and from language generated.

4- The most important skills are understanding and speaking the language at the beginning, with reinforcement through reading and writing.

Sts should be ready for it.

It is likely that teachers would encourage their students to self-evaluate—to look at their own learning and to become aware of their own progress.


Errors?Errors?

How does the teacher respond to student errors?

Teachers should work with what the learner has produced in a non-threatening way. One way of doing this is for the teacher to repeat correctly what the student has said incorrectly, without calling further attention to the error.


Conclusions

•CLL seems to be particularly useful with both lower-level to intermediate learners

•With higher-level learners it's useful to have a task which will raise the level of challenge

•The language focus resulting is relevant and authentic, tailored to the learners real linguistic needs.

•It can produce personalized and memorable speaking

•It helps keep classroom from familiar to unfamiliar in English situations.


•It's a good way to focus on pronunciation

•It can consolidate and extend textbook work

•Learners in general respond well to the procedure

•It's particularly motivating for students

•The class structure can balance the group dynamic in the case of dominant learners

•Adults may have problems of self-consciousness with the taping.
