The Community Language Learning method aims to help students learn a new language by having the teacher take on the role of a language counselor. The goals of this method are to help students learn to communicate in the target language, learn about their own learning process, and take increasing responsibility for their learning. Key aspects of this method include students deciding topics, translating their native language to the target language, and an emphasis on inductive and whole-person learning. The teacher acts as a counselor and guides students from being dependent to independent learners through a structured process involving stages like recording conversations and reflecting on experiences.
