Background
developed by Charles Curran in the 1970s
primary insights from Rogerian counseling theory
counselor client (knower) teacher (learner) student
Maskowitz’s Humanistic Techniques which engages the whole person:
• blend what students feel, think, and know with what they are learning in target language
• self actualization and self-esteem• help to foster a caring climate • emotions and feelings as well as linguistic
knowledge and behavioral skills
Language Alternation; (another language teaching tradition which CLL is linked )
- Mackey: A message, lesson or class is presented first in the native language and then, in the target language before overhears.
Approach;
Theory of Language;
the social-process view of language
+the Interactional view of language
La Forge’s Alternative Theory;
beyond the structuralist view of language which means Language as a Social Process.
Communication; Not just a message, Not just the uniderectional transfer, Speaker = listener = subject and object of
the message.
Verbal
Sender Message Receiver
<the information-transmission model>
Verbal
Sender Message Receiver
< the social-process model>
The interactional view;
- interactions between learners unpredictable
- interactions between learner and knower dependent and independent
Stages;
in stage 1; dependent
in stage 2; self-assertive
in stage 3; resentful & indignant
in stage 4; tolerant
in stage 5; independent
Theory of Language Learning
Whole-person Learning ( cognitive and affective )
-a holistic one
-analyzed into five stages
Whole person learning stages;
1- feelings of security and belonging
2- independence
3- speaking independently
4- mature enough to take criticism
5- improving the knowledge of linguistic
Convalidation or Consensual Validation
S stands for security
A stands for attention and aggression
R stands for retention and reflection
D stands for discrimination
