The Concept "Learner-Centered Curriculum" in TESOL

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses different methods for achieving successful communication between teachers and students and explains why traditional methods of teaching are inadequate to meet the changing student demographics.

From the Paper:

"The most important learning processes in any school anywhere in the world involve the use of several different means of communication. The communication methods may be verbal or non-verbal. Verbal communication involves the use of oral and written symbols that can communicate a message to the student, and non-verbal involves the use of, primarily, among other means, body language. Without communication there can be no means of telling the other person what one person wants or needs, and communication is used between teachers and parents, between groups, between the parents and the community, and also for the formation of interpersonal relationships and as the medium of instruction in a school. Any sort of behavioral problems in school would be dealt with by effective means of communication, and it can be stated that without communication there would be no education."
