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 counselor, while the learner acts as a collaborator, although sometimes this role can be changed. The Community Language Learning is the method which are use by the teachers to consider their students as ‘whole persons’. ‘Whole persons’ means that teachers consider not only their students intellect, but also have some understanding of the relationship among students feelings, physical reactions, instinctive protective reactions, and desire to learn. The teachers who use this method want their students to learn how to use the target language communicatively. They focuses are not only on the language but also on the being supportive of learners in their learning process. In this method, the teachers use tape-recorded, transcription, reflection on experience, reflective listening, human computer, and small group tasks to see our ‘whole persons’. With use tape-recorded, they can learn about conversation easily. The teacher give them some ‘chunks’ on the transcript, they must repeat it with her. In this method, the teachers use small groups to help the students can get more practice with the target language and allow them to get to know each other better.


I like this method because I think this method is more interesting and easier for student. It also can improve the students’ understanding because they learn with their selves. The method provide variety ways in teaching.
