    Study Notes

    Grammar-Translation Method

    • The fundamental purpose of learning a language is to read and understand literary and philosophical texts.
    • The teacher plays a central role, conveying knowledge and explaining grammar rules.
    • Grammar is taught deductively, focusing on rules, exceptions, and memorization of verb conjugations and vocabulary lists.
    • The most prominent type of interaction is teacher-student, with the teacher dominating the classroom.
    • Students primarily learn to translate texts, analyze grammar, and memorize vocabulary.
    • This method emphasizes written skills over spoken communication.

    Community Language Learning (CLL)

    • In CLL, students' feelings and emotions are considered very important, as they play a significant role in the learning process.
    • The primary focus at the beginning of the language learning process is on building trust and creating a secure learning environment.
    • The teacher provides student security by being a "knower" and a "counselor," ensuring students feel comfortable and supported.
    • Curran emphasizes that learning is a holistic process, involving the whole person, not just intellectual understanding.
    • As the language learning process progresses, the focus shifts from security to challenge and from dependence on the teacher to learner independence.
    • The primary goal of teachers using the Community Language Learning Method is to empower learners to become independent and responsible for their own learning.
    • The teacher's initial role is to provide a supportive and non-threatening environment, encouraging learners to take risks.
    • In Stage III, learners become increasingly independent, taking more responsibility for their learning.
    • In Stages I, II, and III, the focus is on interaction between the learner and the teacher, the learner and the learning group, and the learner and themselves.
    • The ultimate goal of learners using the Community Language Learning Method is to become autonomous, self-directed learners.
