Community Language Learning

Community Language Learning (CLL) is an approach to language teaching where learners, guided by a teacher acting as a counselor, collaborate to express their thoughts in the new language. The process encourages active participation, listening, and dialogue, creating a supportive environment that respects learners’ needs and feelings. CLL emphasizes communication over rote memorization, fostering confidence through group interaction and reflection. It draws from counseling techniques to help learners resolve language difficulties collectively, making learning more natural and meaningful. Overall, CLL promotes a community-oriented, learner-centered method that prioritizes real-life communication skills.
