Community language learning
Language-teaching approach
Language-teaching approach
Community language learning (CLL) is a language-teaching approach focused on group-interest learning.
It is based on the counselling-approach in which the teacher acts as a counselor and a paraphraser, while the learner is seen as a client and collaborator.
Background
The CLL approach was developed by Charles Arthur Curran, a Jesuit priest, professor of psychology at Loyola University Chicago, and counseling specialist.
According to Curran, a counselor helps a client understand his or her own problems better by 'capturing the essence of the clients concern ...[and] relating [the client's] affect to cognition...'; in effect, understanding the client and responding in a detached yet considerate manner.
Methods
Natural approach
Online communities
These types of communities have recently arisen with the explosion of educational resources for language learning on the Web.
