The document summarizes the Community Language Learning (CLL) method for teaching language. CLL uses counseling-learning theory and aims to create a non-threatening learning environment by having teachers take on the role of language counselors. It allows students to learn at their own pace and express themselves in their native language when discussing feelings about the learning process. The goal is for students to learn communicatively by interacting with each other and taking increased responsibility for their language learning.
