Community Language LearningCommunity Language Learning

Community language learning (CLL) is an approach in which students work together to develop what aspects of a language they would like to learn. The teacher acts as a counsellor and a paraphraser, while the learner acts as a collaborator, although sometimes this role can be changed.

Methods 1Methods 1• The foreign language learner's tasks, according to CLL are (1) to apprehend the sound system of the language (2) assign fundamental meanings to individual lexical units (3) construct a basic grammar.

• In these three steps, the CLL resembles the Natural Approach to language teaching in which a learner is not expected to speak until he has achieved some basic level of comprehension.

Adolescence stage: The learners are secure enough to take criticism and being corrected.

Independence stage: The child becomes an adult and becomes the knower.
