Learner-Centred Approach In English Language Teaching: A Reading

Abstract

Most of the ESL/EFL theories/ approaches/methods which are being practiced in the classrooms today by language teachers have been reviewed in this section. This chapter will also highlight both the appropriateness and the inappropriateness of some theories and approaches which are either feasible or not feasible for teaching development of communicative competence in the Sultanate of Oman. It must be noted that all the theories/ approaches/methods included in this study have been incorporated with the prototype reading course on communicative competence and the course was taught to the target group through learner-centred approach.
