Learner-based teaching focuses on using students' own knowledge and experiences in class activities. The teacher acts as a participant, helper and monitor. Key advantages include tapping into students' diverse ideas and expertise, tailoring lessons to students' current needs, allowing discussion of timely topics, and encouraging peer teaching and collaboration. Potential problems include some students preferring traditional teaching, external constraints on curriculum, and increased demands on teachers' preparation time.

1. LEARNER-BASED TEACHING
• The main principle in learner-base teaching
is that all class activities can be done using
information that learners themselves bring
to the class. The input can be base on the
experiences, knowledge, and expertise of
individual students.

2. What is the role to teacher?
• The teacher can be an active participant in
the group, genuinely taking part in the
activities, contributing ideas and opinion or
relating personal experiences.
• The teacher is also a helper and resource,
responding to learners’ request for help.
• At other time the teacher is a monitor,
checking what learners have produced
before they pass it on to other learners.

3. Advantage of Learner-Based Teaching
• The potential of the learner
Students bring a lot with them. They all
have their own ideas, opinions, experiences
and areas of expertise.
• Constant needs analysis:
The activities for a particular are chosen to
meet the current needs of it members.

4. • Topicality:
Learner-based teaching allows us to local or
international issue or ideas which are current
interest to particular group.
• Previous learning experience
A learning based approach offers a much more
open-ended experience.
• Learner as authors
Practice is doubled in learner-based teaching
because learner are involved in preparing as
well as using the practice materials

5. • Pace:
Teachers may feel disconcerted by the
seemingly lengthy preparation work
necessary.
• The element of surprise
Not only do the learners not know what is
coming before the lesson starts, but they
are often unable to predict the produced
materials how the lesson will develop.

6. • Peer teaching and correction
Learner-based teaching encourage
students to work together and learn from
each other.
• Group solidarity
Students have a valid contribution.
Learners are working with one another

7. What are the potential problems of LBT?
• Learner resistance
Different preconceptions about learning
process. Some student may prefer TC to
LBT. Some may have a competitive rather
than a cooperative philosophy while other
feel they cannot contribute to the group.
• External restraints
• Demands on the teacher
