    The document discusses ways to make classrooms more learner-centered by asking open-ended questions, eliciting responses from learners, and giving them time to think. It also provides two case studies of lessons that could be improved by incorporating more learner-centered techniques, such as involving all students in answering questions instead of just one. Adopting a more learner-centered approach may help engage students more and better cater to their needs and interests.

    Is your classroom learner-centred or teacher-centred?

    How can you tell?

    What kinds of questions do you ask your learners?

    When do you use open questions and when do you use more controlled close
    questions?

    Why would you ask these sorts of questions?

    Do you elicit from your learners?

    How much waiting time do you give learners to check answers to questions?

    Do you ever answer your own questions?

    How can you help learners struggling to come up with the right answers?
    Is your classroom learner-centred or teacher-centred?

    Case Study 1

    Teacher Y Vocabulary/Pronunciation Lesson with an A2 group of 10 students

    He holds up a flashcard and models the pronunciation of the word. Choral drilling
    is then activated followed by group, pair and then individual drills.

    How effective is the lesson?

    How might Teacher Y make his lesson more learner centred?

    Case Study 2

    Teacher F Grammar Lesson: Form and Function with a B2 group of 15 students

    She boards examples of sentences containing the language points highlighted in


    different colours to differentiate form. She then asks questions of the students to
    establish the function for using the language point. Each time it is the same
    student who answers the questions with the teacher’s approval.

    How effective is the lesson?

    How might Teacher F make her lesson more learner centred?

    Why might the two case studies benefit from a more learner centred approach?
