Аннотация

The learner-centered approach has gained significant attention in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) due to its effectiveness in promoting active learning and ensuring student engagement. By shifting the focus from the teacher to the learner, this approach aims to cultivate a more engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experience. Through a review of current literature and practical examples, this article highlights the benefits of learner-centered methodology in promoting language acquisition, enhancing student motivation, and fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment among English language learners. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the learner-centered approach in teaching English, discussing its theoretical foundations, key principles, and practical implications. Additionally, it presents empirical evidence from previous studies that support the pedagogical advantages of implementing a learner-centered approach. The findings will contribute to the ongoing discourse on learner-centered methodologies, helping educators make informed decisions regarding instructional practices for English language learners.
