Reflection on the Community Language Learning

In response to the question asked by the professor in class, I personally think that although the Community Language Learning Method seems not able to build a firm grammatical basis on the target language, it is, however, a method that creates a learning environment in which students are given greater security and thus their fear of learning a new language can be reduced.
And as what I’ve mentioned in the group discussion, this method enables the teacher to provide sentences what his/her students want to learn in the target language only; that is, it offers limited knowledge of the target language. Therefore, those students, like us, Chinese students, for instance, who used to begin their learning a new language from the steps of grammar and vocabulary, would possibly find themselves not accustomed to this way of learning, for during the learning process they are not sure if they really “understand” the language they are learning.
Yet I do appreciate that in the Community Language Learning Method, teachers play the role of counselors. Presently as a student, it is understandable that students see their teachers on the stage as a symbol of power and authority. Consequently, when their teachers walk down the stage, stand beside them (maybe in the same height as them, or their teachers bend down a little bit), and listen and understand what they say, the warm manners by the teachers do give their students a sense of security, and it also encourages the students to be involved in the learning and thus speak more.
