Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, there is no alternative to attaining communicative competence in English as it is the primary language used in international affairs. On the other hand, the traditional teacher-centred learning cannot ensure the best student-learning outcome for learning English and therefore, many educationists recommend the introduction of the student-centred learning in the classrooms. Hence, this paper delves into the current practice of student-centred classrooms for learning English at tertiary level colleges in Bangladesh. It also seeks to address the challenges of student-centred classroom for learning English at tertiary colleges in Bangladesh and endeavours to find the solutions to the challenges. For this purpose, twelve (12) teachers has been chosen from four (04) tertiary colleges of Pabna district of Bangladesh.
