Community Language Learning (CLL) was developed by Charles Curran in the 1970s, drawing from Rogerian counseling theory. It views language learning as a collaborative social process. Learners become members of a language learning community where they interact with each other and a teacher/counselor. In early stages, the teacher provides translations and models, but later focuses on monitoring and correcting when needed. The approach emphasizes oral proficiency, with topics and materials emerging from learner interactions. Learners progress from dependent to independent roles over five stages of whole-person language development.
Community language learning (CLL) is a language-teaching approach in which students work together to develop what aspects of a language they would like to learn. It is based on the Counselling-approach in which the teacher acts as a counselor and a paraphraser, while the learner is seen as a client and collaborator.

This slide briefly sums up the Second Language learning/teaching methodology as proposed by Charles Arthur Curran. Community Langugae Learning advocates the Counseling method of psychology to aid Target Language acquisition.
This method is based on the principles of behavior psychology. It adapted many of the principles and procedures of the Direct Method, in part as a reaction to the lack of speaking skills of the Reading Approach

Use Discourse to Access Language and Mathematics for English LearnersDreamBox Learning
Extensive use of discourse in the classroom is a key practice to support the learning of English while learning mathematics. English learners are in varying stages of English language development, and discourse will increase their productive (oral and written) and receptive (listening and reading) language functions in addition to their comprehension of mathematics concepts. The Standards for Mathematical Practice expect students to reason, construct viable arguments, and critique the reasoning of others among other practices. Thus, classroom teachers need to provide support for students’ English language development to engage in these practices.
In this webinar, Mathematics Education Consultant Dr. Susie W. Håkansson shares the rationale for using discourse in the classroom, the role of productive and receptive language functions in the learning of mathematics, as well as examples of how to increase discourse in the classroom.
Community Language Learning advises teachers to take their students as “whole person.” Students decide the topic and teachers act to like conselors. The learning is inductive.

Role and importance of language in the curriculumAbu Bashar
The language is always believed to play a central role in learning. No matter what the subject area, students assimilate new concepts when they listen, talk, read and write about what they are learning. Speaking and writing reflects the thinking process that is taking place. Students learn in language, therefore if their language is weak, so is their learning.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
5. BACKGROUND
developed by Charles Curran in the 1970s
primary insights from Rogerian counseling theory
counselor client
(knower) teacher (learner) student
6. Maskowitz’s Humanistic Techniques
which engages the whole person:
• blend what students feel, think, and know
with what they are learning in target
language
• self actualization and self-esteem
• help to foster a caring climate
• emotions and feelings as well as linguistic
knowledge and behavioral skills
7. Language Alternation;
(another language teaching tradition which
CLL is linked )
- Mackey: A message, lesson or class is
presented first in the native language and
then, in the target language before overhears.
8. Approach;
Theory of Language;
the social-process view of language
+
the Interactional view of language
9. La Forge’s Alternative Theory;
beyond the structuralist view of language
which means Language as a Social Process.
Communication;
Not just a message,
Not just the uniderectional transfer,
Speaker = listener = subject and object of
the message.
12. The interactional view;
- interactions between learners
unpredictable
- interactions between learner and knower
dependent and independent
13. Stages;
in stage 1; dependent
in stage 2; self-assertive
in stage 3; resentful & indignant
in stage 4; tolerant
in stage 5; independent
14. Theory of Language Learning
Whole-person Learning ( cognitive and affective )
-a holistic one
-analyzed into five stages
15. Whole person learning stages;
1- feelings of security and belonging
2- independence
3- speaking independently
4- mature enough to take criticism
5- improving the knowledge of linguistics
16. Convalidation or Consensual Validation
S stands for security
A stands for attention and aggression
R stands for retention and reflection
D stands for discrimination
“SARD” By Curran
17. Design
- Objectives
encouraging the students to take more
responsibility
learning how to learn from one another
using the target language communicatively
18. The Syllabus
the teaching of oral proficiency
a topic based course progression
emerging from the interaction between learners and
teachers
detailed and specific grammar and lexical points
isolated by the teacher
19. Learning Activities
Translation
Group work
Tape-recording
Transcription
Analysis
Reflection and
observation
Listening
Free conversation
20. Roles of Learners
Being a member of the community,
Listening carefully
Telling messages independently
Repeating messages without any hesitation
Expreesing feelings, frustration
Being counselor of other learners
21. Learners become members of a community and learn through
interacting with the community.
Learning is viewed as something that is achieved
collaboratively not as an individual accomplishment
Learners are expected to listen carefully to the knower
CLL learners are typically grouped in a circle of six to twelve
learners.
24. Is to respond calmly and nonjudgmentally, in a supportive manner, and help
the client try to understand his/her problems
Keyed to the 5 development stages:
In early stages of learning the teacher operates in supportive role, providing
target language translations and a model for imitation on request of the clients.
Later, the teacher monitors learner utterances, providing assistance
when requested.
As learning processes, students become increasingly capable of accepting
criticism and the teacher may intervene directly to correct deviant
utterances, supply idioms and advise on usage and fine points of
grammar.
25. Instructional Materials
a textbook isn’t necessary
developed by the teachers as the course develops
projector, tape recorder
scripts for conversations developed by the students.
26. Procedure
informal greeting
statement of the goals and guidelines
sitting in a circle
conversations and messages given by the
student in the L1
Translation of it into the target language by
the teacher
repetition for the tape recorder
27. Replaying the tape recorder for refreshing
what have learned by repeating
Reflection
Elements of Spelling, Grammar,
Capitalization
Asking questions about the lesson
Copying sentences from the board with notes
on meaning/usage.
28. What is the role of the native language in
CLL?
Enhancing the security
Providing a bridge from the familiar to the
unfamiliar
Making the meaning clear
29. Weaknesses
a lack of grammatical syllabus
unclear objectives
focus on fluency rather than accuracy
difficulty in evaluation
30. What areas of language skills are
emphasized?
- Culture is the integral part of language learning,
and language is for creative and critical thinking.
- The most important skills are understanding and
speaking the language and then, reading and
writing with reinforcement.
31. Cons
In the beginning some learners find it difficult to speak on tape
while others might find that the conversation lacks spontaneity.
We as teachers can find it strange to give our students so much
freedom and tend to intervene too much.
In your efforts to let your students become independent learners
you can neglect their need for guidance.
32. Pros
Learners appreciate the autonomy CLL offers them and thrive on
analyzing their own conversations.
CLL works especially well with lower levels who are struggling to
produce spoken English.
The class often becomes a real community, not just when using
CLL but all of the time. Students become much more aware of
their peers, their strengths and weaknesses and want to work as
a team.
