Learner centred learning is an approach to education focusing on the needs of the students, rather than those of others involved

in the educational process, such as teachers and administrators. This approach has many implications for the design of curriculum, course content, and interactivity of courses. Learner centred learning that is putting students first, is in contrast to teachercentred learning.

Decide which one is Learner centred? 1. The teacher prepares the lesson and chooses a text e.g. about the target culture for the learners to study and answer comprehension questions. 2. The learners study a text chosen by the teacher but they write comprehension questions for each other. 3. The teacher provides the learners with a survey (about the learners interests etc.) for them to conduct in the classroom to practise a certain grammar point. 4. The learners write their own survey to practise a certain grammar point in the classroom.
