One of the characteristics of a learner centred approach is that you engage in activities that will motivate learners

Yes Elizabeth. The teacher is in control and a facilitator in LCE

Learner centered approach focuses on the individual needs of students and tries to bring out the best in the student.

I agree, Jacqueline. Would you say that individual needs encompass the whole range from learners who need support to attain the baseline objectives to talented learners who need support to extend their understanding, skills and knowledge still further?

I do agree. In addition, learner centred approach should use practical examples and illustrations relevant to the context of the students.

This is true Jacqueline. It means that as all the teacher does from the design stage to assessment should be focused on the learner especially the best ways to promote deep learning.

Yes. It also ensures active participation of the students and collaboration from them, to learn from one another.
