Learner Roles• “whole person” process, 5 stages• Different stage, different role• 1. “infant”– completely dependent on the knower for linguistic content • repeat & overhear• 2. “child achieving a measure of independence from the parent”—
learners begin to establish their own self-affirmation and independence• use simple expressions and phrases• 3. “the separate-existence stage” understand and resent
uninvited assistance• 4. “a kind of adolescence”– the learner functions independently
elicit from the knower the advanced level of linguistic knowledge & “psychological understanding”
5. “the independent stage” language refining and new counselors

Teacher roles 3. safe environment provider The teacher is responsible for providing a safe environment in
which clients can learn and grow What we have mentioned in SARD
Two points to notice: 1. Security is a culturally relative concept 2. It may be undesirable to create too secure an environment
for learners
