Abstract
Student-centered or learner-centered approach is widely used in language teaching and learning pedagogy (O’Neill and McMahon 29). In this approach, the focus is mainly on students who share responsibilities for activities and tasks. However, Balan et al. argues that learner-centeredness is ensured with the “active participation” of a facilitator (652). This paper reviews ways through which a teacher can ensure learner-centeredness in his/her class. Besides, why a teacher should think of adopting this particular approach is also highlighted. This paper further sheds light on the possible advantages learner-centered approach can have. How the pitfalls of this approach have an effect on implementing learner-centered approach—is also one of the focuses of this paper. Finally, as per the review of literature indicates, the researcher also gives certain recommendations that can guide through the future studies, especially those working on English language teaching in an EFL classroom.
