Community Language Learning In English Teaching
Abstract
Community Language Learning (also known as Counseling Language Learning) first developed by Charles A Curran; professor of Psychology and Paul La Forge enthused by the humanistic psychology of Carl Rogers. It aspires at removing the apprehension from learning by altering the relationship between the teacher and student. Community Language Learning focuses on encouraging teachers to perceive their learners from a holistic standpoint, where their feelings, intellect, interpersonal relationships, and thirst to learn are tackled and equalized. This procedure is in vogue over a sizeable period of time, until learners are adept in the art of applying words in the foreign language without translation, eventually shifting from a condition of reliance on the teacher-counselor to a zone of self-sufficiency. The importance of Community Language Learning has been its emphasis on complete person learning with the passing of responsibility for learning to the learners. It calls upon teachers to recognize and accept the tussle students face as they try to learn some other language. Also, by relating story narrating technique students’ capacity to converse English in terms of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency will improve.
