DESCRIPTION: The Community Language Learning is based on counseling strategies that are given to the
teachers to become counselors. This method seems the student as a client, so the teacher needs to show
sympathy for the learner creating a warm relationship and aiding him or her through 5 stages from dependence
to independence when talking about language use. This way, we can conclude that this method uses translation
(learner L1, teacher L2, learner L2), there is not a designed syllabus and its principal aim is to develop language
after practicing it in interaction with the community.
MAIN OBJECTIVES: - Acquiring a native like use of the target language. Specific objectives are not determined.
