Community Language Learning - Ekin

Community language learning (CLL) is an approach where students collaboratively develop what language aspects to learn. The teacher acts as a counselor and paraphraser while students are collaborators. CLL follows Krashen's Monitor Theory and Cognitive Theory, viewing learning as an active process. It refers to the teacher as the "knower" and students as "learners" or "counselors" and "clients". CLL uses techniques like building relationships, reflective listening, and small group tasks.

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING

Aina Khalisah Azami Masidar a/p Sudar Nur Syahidatil Asyiqin Amran

Community language learning (CLL) is an approach in which students work together to develop what aspects of a language they would like to learn. The teacher acts as a counsellor and a paraphraser, while the learner acts as a collaborator, although sometimes this role can be changed.

Background

developed by Charles A. Curran, a professor of psychology at Loyola University It was created especially for Adult Learners who might fear to appear foolish ; so the teacher becomes a Language Counselor , he understands them and leads them to overcome their fears .

It follows Krashens Monitor Theory (Affective Filter Hypothesis) and the Cognitive Theory where the human mind is active .

refers to two roles: that of the knower (teacher) and student (learner) or counselor and client.
the counselor blends what the client feels and what he is learning in order to make the experience a meaningful one

Methods

Natural Approach The foreign language learner's tasks, according to CLL are

(1) to apprehend the sound system of the language


(2) assign fundamental meanings to individual lexical units and (3) construct a basic grammar.

There are 5 stages of development in this method. Birth stage: feeling of security and belonging are established. As the learners' ability improve, they achieve a measure of independence from the parent. Learners can speak independently. The learners are secure enough to take criticism and being corrected. The child becomes an adult and becomes the knower.

Techniques
1) Build relationship 2) Explain procedure 3) Set time limit 4) Language for communication 5) Human Computer a- teacher stands behind students b- teacher repeats , doesnt correct c- interaction among students d- students feel in control / responsible

6) 7)

Native language + translation Reflect on experience , talk about feelings 8) Teacher = counselor => he understands, he listens 9) Accepting , non-threatening atmosphere, Non-defensive learning => security, involvement, attention, reflection, retention, discrimination 10) One task at a time

11) Cooperation , no competition 12) Language Experience Approach : create a story after an experience , feelings are the main focus 13) Teacher-student centered : both are decision-makers 14) Syllabus designed by students at the beginning 15) Creative thinking + self-evaluation 16) Integrative Test : Paragraph writing or oral interview

Applications and Examples


Bedtime Routine 1. The teacher reads A story to the class. The class follows along with their own copies. 2. The teacher brings the class together in a circle. 3. The teacher chooses a student and stands behind him or her. 4. The teacher starts the activity by asking, Who is the primary character in the story? 5. The student makes a statement about the story in English by answering the question.

6. The teacher repeats the statement the student made in English. 7. The student repeats the statement in English, while the teacher records it, either on audio or video cassette. 8. The teacher moves on to the next student, who is asked to respond to the story. 9. After all the students have had a turn at speaking, the teacher and students listen to the tape together and make a list of new vocabulary the students learnedin English. 10. Students take home both the tape and the written vocabulary from the board.

Strengths

humanistic approach, which views students and teachers as a community, and thus the teacher as more facilitator than teacher, fits in nicely with current trends in education.

Weaknesses

CCL requires a number of conditions that may make it difficult to use in many situations. To be most effective, it requires teachers who are specifically trained in this method and also, ideally, trained in counseling techniques. CLL requires bilingual teachers and small, homogeneous classes.
