THE ROLE OF STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH IN IMPROVING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING
Abstract
In recent years, student-centered learning has gained significant attention in modern education, particularly in the field of English language teaching. Unlike traditional teacher-centered instruction, this approach focuses on learners’ active participation, autonomy, and collaboration in the learning process. The aim of this article is to examine the role of the student-centered approach in improving English language learning. The paper reviews theoretical perspectives and findings from previous research related to learner-centered pedagogy. Scholars suggest that student-centered learning environments enhance learners’ motivation, critical thinking, and communicative competence. Furthermore, when students actively participate in classroom activities, they are more likely to develop confidence and independence in using the language. The analysis indicates that integrating student-centered strategies into English language classrooms can significantly improve the overall learning experience and academic outcomes of students.
