STUDENT-CENTERED EDUCATION: EXPLORING LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH A CASE STUDY METHOD
Keywords:
a case study method, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, communication skills, language classrooms, Bloom’s taxonomy.Abstract
This article is devoted to the exploration of language learning within the framework of student-centered education, focusing specifically on the utilization of a case study method. The origin, benefits and advantageous features of applying this method in the learning process are given with clear explanation. Different scientists’ opinions about this method are presented. It examines how this approach empowers learners to actively engage in their language acquisition journey by immersing them in real-life scenarios. Through collaborative problem-solving and inquiry-based learning, students enhance critical thinking skills, develop practical language proficiency, and acquire essential communication competencies.
