The Community Language Learning method grew out of applying counseling techniques to language teaching. It views students as whole people and aims to understand their feelings. The teacher acts as a counselor/mentor rather than solely focusing on language skills. It emphasizes creating a secure environment for students to learn. Students and teachers jointly make decisions in class, with students actively discussing topics. Benefits include using language in personal interactions and cooperation between teachers and students. It works best in small groups and requires skilled teacher-counselors. The goal is to eliminate anxiety around learning a second language by emphasizing counseling over traditional teaching.
