What is CLE? Concentrated Language Encounter (CLE) • is an international success story. • originally developed in the 1970’s by Dr. Brian Gray in Australia. • the concept was pilot-tested in Thailand.
CLE teaching has been designed as a cost-effective method to facilitate and broaden the learning process of pupils of Grades I-IV, in well defined stages: - through the provision of basic literacy to meet the demands of every day life; - by enhancing pupils’ understanding of the English language with focus on widening pupils’ ability in handling different texts; and -by consolidating pupils’ capabilities in the use of the English language and in acquiring further knowledge and understanding in a structured manner.
How is CLE done? • The CLE text-based approach begins with shared reading of texts. • Then, the learners and the teacher undertake various activities in aid of understanding of the meaning of the text. • Thirdly, the learners and the teacher work together to write their own text… • Followed by language activities to develop more specific literacy skills such as word recognition, sentence construction, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Goals of CLE • To meet the goals of H.E.L.P.S. program (Health, Education, Environment, Livelihood, Professionalism, Shelter). • CLE is uniquely suited for combining the acquisition of English language skills with the development of social competencies like teaching and learning attitudes, teamwork and communication skills.”

SUCCESS • All school divisions that implemented CLE all showed significant improvements in English language proficiency of the students. • Teachers are encouraged, motivated and proud that they are educating the students.
The CLE is a cost effective method and only needs basic school supplies to continue after Rotary had spent for the initial pilot years. • CLE make better teachers. Better motivated and effective teachers are the best solution to the problem of education. • CLE makes learning fun and enjoyable. Students absenteeism in classes dropped significantly.
CHALLENGES • CLE success and continuity depended primarily on the teachers. The challenge is to keep these teachers motivated and most importantly is to support their continuing professional development to become "Best" teachers. • CLE Projects can also support the needs for educational materials.
“ The CLE methodology is particularly suited for assisting both teachers and pupils in the process of successful teaching and learning.”
