Gouin's Series Method - I found the concept of teaching using a series of sentences in the Second Language intriguing. Repeating words from sentence to sentence to emphasize them and draw attention to specific words has potential at least as a task as part of a lesson plan.
Community Language Learning - CLL to me seems almost contradictory to the initial premise of being Learner focused. There seems to be too much emphasis on the Teacher being the only person in the class that is working. The Learners are simply repeating random phrases and sentences which the Teacher is translating. No one needs to understand the Second Language sentence because it has already been said in the L1 of the Learners.
Content-Based Language Teaching - CBLT being focused on the Learners' interest and needs appears to be a constructive form of L2 teaching. Although a little broad and vague in Brown and Lee (2015), CBLT should encourage motivation to learn by being learner focused.
Immersion - The immersion model of L2 learning is a strong approach especially for children. I believe this approach may be more difficult for adult learners to acclimate to.
Corpus-Based Teaching - With such a multitude of possibilities, CBT promises to be very useful in L2 teaching.
