An Action Research for the Implementation of Learner Centred Approach for Students’ Achievement: A Case Study of Samora Machel Secondary School Manjacaze, Mozambique

Abstract

The educational system in Mozambique has been undergoing transformation since the national independence in 1975. Despite, Education in Mozambique has traditionally been teacher centred, where the attention and activities are especially on teacher and little attention paid to learners. The implementation of these approaches Mozambican Secondary Schools is a very important by becoming learners’ active participants of the learning process and take responsibility. Even though, it was found out that these approaches are not accordingly adopted inn some schools and consequently the students’ performance is not desirable. Therefore, the learner-centred approach provides a practical and viable alternative to activate learners, and help them find out for themselves the grammar rules. Teachers try their best to help students learn the second language by themselves as much as possible, and they pay special attention to learners’ needs when they are preparing the syllabus, the materials or the texts they are going to use in the classroom, because they are going to bring bright or positive impact in teaching and learning process.
