Abstract
This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of student-centered learning (SCL) in increasing student participation and involvement in English language teaching. Student-centered learning is an instructional approach that positions students as active participants in the learning process through discussions, collaboration, and problem-solving activities. To explore this, a qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving classroom observation and interviews with students and teachers. The findings revealed that students demonstrated behaviors aligned with student-centered learning, including active engagement in peer discussions and participation in teacher-led questioning. The study highlights that the implementation of SCL fosters greater student involvement, independence, and the development of critical thinking and communication skills. These results underscore the potential of student-centered learning as an effective strategy in English language education.
