Experiential language learning, borrowing from the experiential learning roots, is right fully placed within the context of the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) movement which began in the mid 1970s and continues until today. Experiential language learning is not a new method but an educational framework around which to organize learning tasks. The roots of this promising framework in humanistic and democratically organized classrooms and its reliance on negotiation in the learning and teaching of communication will be examined in this paper. Guidelines for organizing an experience oriented curriculum using project work will also be discussed.
