Communicative Language Learning

Communicative Language Learning (CLL) is an approach in which students work together to develop those aspects of a language that they would like to learn. Teacher´s rol is as a counsellor and facilitator, while learner´s rol is as a collaborator and user of the language. In addition, this method proposes activities which involve real communication and language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks that promote learning.
In this sense, students will learn to use language as a means of expression, communication, culture and others. Communicative language learning seeks to bring students beyond grammatical competence to a point where they are able not only to decode a language, but also, can begin to manipulate the language according to their own needs. This is known as communicative competence.
Several strategies further communicative language learning, including private dialog, an immersion environment, and instructional songs. Also, conversation partners, role play, and others.
