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.
