Community Language Learning (CLL) is a method for teaching language that uses the students' native language. The teacher acts as a counselor who translates between the native language and the target language. This creates a supportive relationship where students can express themselves freely in their native language at first. Over time, students build independence speaking in the target language through activities like translation, tape recording, reflection, and group work. CLL aims to reduce students' anxiety and help lower-level learners improve their speaking skills.
