CLL differs from other methods by which languages are taught. It is based on

an approach modeled on counseling techniques that alleviate anxiety, threat and the
personal and language problems a person encounters in the learning of foreign lan-
guages. The method was originally developed by Charles Curran who was inspired
by Carl Rogers’ view of education. In this “Counseling-learning” model of education,
learners in a classroom are seen as a group rather than as a class, a group in dire
need of a certain kind of therapy and counseling. The social dynamics occurring in
the group are very important and a number of conditions are needed for learning to
take place.

• Members should interact in an interpersonal relationship.
• Students and teachers work together to facilitate learning by

• valuing each other,
• lowering the defenses that prevent interpersonal interaction
• reducing anxiety
• and constituting a supportive community.
• The teacher’s role is that of a true counselor in that.
• they are not perceived as a threat,
• they don’t impose boundaries and limits,
• and they concentrate on the learners’ needs
Here is what you may find in a CLL class:
• Students determine content.
• Clients/learners establish an interpersonal relationship and trust in their
native language.
• They sit in a circle with the teacher/counselor on the outside of the circle.
• Learners start a conversation.
• Learners speak in their native language.
• The counselor provides translations and explanations.
• Learners repeat the utterances as accurately as they can.
• The conversation goes on and is possibly taped for later use.
Advantages:
• CLL is an attempt to overcome the threatening affective factors in EFL and
ESL.
