The document discusses Community Language Learning (CLL) as an effective method for teaching foreign languages, emphasizing the development of learner independence, mutual relationships between teachers and students, and the significance of students' emotional experiences during the learning process. It highlights well-defined roles for both students and teachers, aiming to foster critical thinking and creativity throughout the learning stages without a specific syllabus. CLL encourages the use of both first and second languages to ensure a conscious and meaningful teaching and learning experience.

develop skills in students
considering their personal
development, their skills, and
their motivations regarding
learning a foreign language.

students to develop five stages of
independence in learning
These stages are the goals
to achieve by teachers and
students in this method
considering that it is a
process which is performed
though a mutual work.

4. A relationship among teachers and students
is central at the moment of teaching and
acquiring another language
Then all of these requirements become weighty at the
moment to start the process of second language acquisition
because for this method of learning, it is important to reflect
how the student is feeling with himself and his environment,
so that as teacher could improve those facts that are affecting
his learning process due to it is upsetting not only the student,
but also the community of learning where he is a member

5. There is not a specific syllabus or model to
perform a class into the Community
Language Learning Method
It will help the community
of learning to get the
communicative objectives
of the course even when
they are not planned.

6. Apprentices’ roles in Community Language
Learning are well defined due to the stages that are
structured to make noteworthy their learning process
Students are conscious
of their learning
process and what they
have to do in their
community of learning

7. Teachers´ role is concerning to understand
the process of independence of their students
The tutor should be aware of
their students´ requests and look
for strategies to help them and
create on them a critical mind
through the reflective feedback.

8. During the procedures used in a class based
on Community Language Learning creativity
is a great ally
A specific coherence
and objectivity should
be present in the
techniques used to
accomplish the stages
