Teaching ESL to the Learners: A Focus on Learners' Interests

The book gives a clear picture how a second language learner can be successful when a teacher concentrates on the learner. Learning can take place effectively if the focus is on the learner and if they are encouraged to play an active role in the shaping of their English Language Learning. The book presents how the traditional role of the teacher as a 'dispenser of information' hinders the learners from learning the language and presents a 'facilitator' role to the teacher. The book also aims at training the learners in strategies, processes and activities which can be used for language learning to become efficient, self-motivated learners. In the context of the importance of learner-centeredness and its impact on the learners, the book aims at eliciting the views of the teachers and the learners and compare the learner-centered classroom and the teacher-centered classroom in order to highlight the awareness raising role of learner-centered approach to language teaching.
