HISTORICAL BACKGROUND According to Richards & Rodgers (2014) there are three main shifts of language teaching: • Major trends in 20-century • Alternative 20-century approaches and methods • Current approaches and methods
DEFINITION Community Language Learning (CLL) is an educational method where the learning experience is seen as a social process and emphasises the concept of whole-person learning. In CLL, teachers act as facilitators (called counsellors) rather than traditional instructors. This method emphasizes a nondefensive learning environment where learners work together in groups, often sitting in circles to promote a sense of community.
DEFINITION CLL Method takes its principles from the more general Counselling-Learning approach developed by Charles A. Curran in the 1970s
DEFINITION-DERIVED PRINCIPLES Whole-person learning means that teachers consider not only their students’ intellect, but: 1. have some understanding of the relationship among students’ feelings 2. physical reactions 3. instinctive protective reactions 4. and desire to learn.
DEFINITION-DERIVED PRINCIPLES A language counsellor does not mean someone trained in psychology; it means someone who is a skilful ‘understander’ of the struggle students face as they attempt to internalize another language.
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 1: Introduction • Take Seats • Introductions
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 2: Preparation for Conversation • Plan Announcement • Explain conversation plan
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 3: Conducting the Conversation • Conversation started, with teacher-assisted translation • Record and discuss
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 4: Post-Conversation Analysis • Students share and discuss the experience • Teacher writes and translates
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 5: Language Practice • Practice pronunciation through reading • Pronunciation exercises
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 6: Creative Application • Students use the news words in sentences
THE EXPERIENCE | Phase 7: Ongoing Language Development • Continues focus on skills with practice
RETHINKING THE EXPERIENCE There are five stages of Community Language Learning (CLL): Stage (I) Reflection and Planning. Stage (II) Translation and Recording. Stage (III) Listening and Analysis. Stage (IV) Practice and Experimentation. Stage (V) Evaluation and Review.
RETHINKING THE EXPERIENCE In Stages I, II, III Main focus is on: Being supporting of learners Subordinate focus is on: Fluency In Stages IV, V Main focus is on: Fluency Subordinate focus is on: Being supporting of learners
RETHINKING THE EXPERIENCE There are six elements for nondefensive learning in the Community Language Learning (CLL) method, abbreviated as (SAARRD): • Security. • Aggression. • Attention. • Reflection. • Retention. • Discrimination.

CONCLUSION AND RECAP • ‘Learning is persons,’ which means that whole-person learning of another language takes place best in a relationship of trust, support, and cooperation between teacher and students and among students. • ‘Learning is dynamic and creative,’ which means that learning is an ongoing developmental process.
