Community language learning (CLL) is language-teaching method〔Richards, Jack C. (1986:113) Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching〕 in which students work together to develop what aspects of a language they would like to learn. It is based on the ''Counseling-approach'' in which the teacher acts as a counsellor and a paraphraser, while the learner is seen as a client and collaborator. The CLL emphasizes the sense of community in the learning group, it encourages interaction as a vehicle of learning, and it considers as a priority the students' feelings and the recognition of struggles in language acquisition. There is no syllabus or textbook to follow and it is the students themselves who determine the content of the lesson by means of meaningful conversations in which they discuss real messages. Notably, it incorporates translation, transcription, and recording techniques. ==Background== The CLL approach was developed by Charles Arthur Curran, a Jesuit priest,〔American Journal of Psychotherapy (1955). COTF BIO. p. 123.〕 professor of psychology at Loyola University Chicago, and counseling specialist.〔Richards, Jack C. (1986:113) Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching〕 This method refers to two roles: that of the know-er (teacher) and student (learner). Also the method draws on the counseling metaphor and refers to these respective roles as a counselor and a client. According to Curran, a counselor helps a client understand his or her own problems better by 'capturing the essence of the clients concern ...() relating (client's ) affect to cognition...;' in effect, understanding the client and responding in a detached yet considerate manner. To restate, the counselor blends what the client feels and what he is learning in order to make the experience a meaningful one. Often, this supportive role requires greater energy expenditure than an 'average' teacher.〔Richards, Jack C (1986:138)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Community language learning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
