Learner-centred instruction in English as a foreign language

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics grade: A Jahangirnagar University (Department of English) course: Applied Linguistics and ELT language: English abstract: Learner-centred instruction in a second/foreign language fosters learner autonomy enhances metacognitive skills and develops learners' communicative competence and is in consonance with the communicative language teaching approach to teaching English as a foreign language in Bangladesh. However the current scenario of English education in the Bangladesh setting shaped by the age-old practice of the grammar-translation method and teacher-domination hardly exhibits learner-centredness. This paper then firstly tries to explicate learner autonomy metacognition and learner-centred second/foreign language classrooms and secondly explores the Bangladesh context.
