Dissatisfactions with current teaching of English are caused by a misalignment between recent theoretical understanding of the subject and teaching methods which remain largely concerned with interpretations of texts. A model of student-centred learning is described, which offers specific answers to four problems: student motivation, the acquisition of methods appropriate to the discipline, how to transfer authority from texts and teachers to the student, and the issue of accountability and staff appraisal within the English department. It is argued that a shift to student-centred learning allows students and staff to share a common concern for the nature of the discipline, and to recognise and make productive use of the theoretical dissensions within it. Some salient features of a method of student-centred learning in English are described
Accountability · English for specific purposes · Higher education · Mathematics education · Pedagogy · Political science · Salient · Sociology · Computer Science · Discourse Analysis in Language Studies · EFL/ESL Teaching and Learning · Psychology · Second Language Learning and Teaching
