“…According to Keiler (2018), teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the learning experiences of students, with their instructional strategies and approaches significantly influencing the degree of learner-centeredness within a classroom. Learner-centered learning is characterized by its emphasis on active student participation and engagement (Tzenios, 2022). Teachers who adopt facilitative roles rather than traditional authoritative roles have been shown to contribute positively to the establishment of learner-centered environments (Darsih, 2018).…”

Both students' language learning and teachers' language teaching are interconnected components of the language-learning process, and they rely on each other to create an effective language-learning environment. This research article investigates the teachers’ roles in language teaching to promote the students’ learner-centered language learning. The method applied in this paper was a library research study where theories were summarized and synthesized from academic sources to provide the answers to the research problems. The instruments used in this study were journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and book sections in the field of language teaching and learning. The results indicated that English teachers, assuming diverse roles including controllers, assessors, managers, and facilitators, collectively contribute to shaping a dynamic and student-focused language learning environment, fostering autonomy, motivation, and self-directed learning throughout students' language acquisition journey. The findings can enhance the quality of teachers’ teaching process by prioritizing students’ needs, interests, and life-long learning.

The Nigerian education system plays a crucial role in shaping the nation's future. However, over the years, there have been concerns about the effectiveness and relevance of the curriculum in preparing students to face rapidly changing global challenges. This research aims to explore the weaknesses within the current Nigerian curriculum and propose strategies to reshape it to drive sustainable national development. It is a comprehensive and systematic literature review, a critical step to thoroughly understand the challenges within Nigeria's curriculum and identify potential improvement strategies. This research allows for a comprehensive synthesis of scholarly articles, governmental reports, and educational publications, establishing a strong foundation for subsequent methodologies. The study begins by analyzing the current state of the Nigerian curriculum, highlighting its limitations and shortcomings. It delves into how the curriculum inadequately addresses critical skills and competencies needed by the 21st-century workforce, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and digital literacy.The study emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation mechanisms and feedback to ensure the effectiveness of the modified curriculum. Regular assessments and monitoring systems should be implemented to measure the impact of curriculum changes and identify areas for improvement. By addressing these deficiencies and integrating relevant and practical skills, the curriculum can better prepare students to face future challenges.

Learner-centered teaching (LCT) has one main focus – learners and learning! With learner-centered teaching, the traditional roles of the instructor and learners change. In this paper, we draw various parallels between learner-centered instruction and ancient Chinese wisdom based on Daoist perspectives to further promote and support learner-centered teaching among instructors, in particular college instructors. Daoist wisdom is a philosophy based on living in peace and harmony with the way everything is in nature, and it encourages sharing of power with students, which ultimately engenders trust. This paper will present and discuss the key characteristics of learner-centered instruction alongside ancient Daoist perspectives that align with and promote and support this type of instruction. These learner-centered characteristics include 1) the instructor as a facilitator of learning, 2) sharing of power and control with learners, 3) student participation and responsibility for learning, 4) collaboration among learners, 5) higher-order skills instruction and development, and 6) evaluation for learning purposes. This paper is organized based on these interrelated and interdependent characteristics of LCT and their relationship to ancient Daoist perspectives, which can support instructors in applying learner-centered instructional methods.
