Abstract

This research was started by following the widespread claim regarding the success of ‘learner-centred teaching approach’ across all disciplines throughout the world. It seeks to look at whether such a claim is true by implementing a theoretical framework of learner centred teaching in an EFL1 Classroom. A qualitative design involving an English teacher of and a number of learners from a vocational2 higher institution were used. The findings of this study overall proved that the implementation of this ‘learner-centred teaching’ framework could make a difference in students’ learning. Their learning became more meaningful, interesting and democratic3. This ‘Learner Centred Method’ approach emphasizes a spread of various sorts of methods that focuses on what the scholars are learning, it changes the role of the teachers from a provider of information to facilitating student learning. Traditional teaching often results in students who are passive learners and who don't take responsibility for his or her own learning, this traditional method (“instructor-centred teaching.”) In contrast with, ‘learner centred teaching’ occurs when instructors specialise in student learning. English is a basic language in all educational institution around the world. People learns the English language in order they can communicate with other people throughout the world. A student who wishes to go abroad for higher studies he/she should have the basic knowledge in English language just to communicate with the people there and understand what they are trying to express. And in business world English is the basic language for establishing communication between the client and the businessman. Teaching business English, or other ESP4 classes, usually pays better than teaching "conversation" English classes and some teachers find them more enjoyable. These classes will centre around a work environment and utilize business or ESP vocabulary5. Business English students are usually quite different from typical school students. They are often older, experienced and tired from an extended day at work and have a particular idea about what they want to learn. Also, sometimes, they're required to require English classes if they need to progress in their company.
