We learnt the basis of the student-centered approach.
https://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/philosophy-of-teaching/transforming-your-teaching-style-a-student-centered-approach/

The teacher facilitates learning and students learn through research and discovery.
Student-centered teaching methods shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the Students. Students become more active and engaged as participants and teachers are more like facilitators or coaches i.e. guide on the side versus sage on the stage approach.
In a student-centered approach to teaching, teacher and student roles are redefined. The teacher becomes a facilitator of learning instead of a dispenser of knowledge, and the students take more responsibility for their own learning.

Defined simplistically as “school work at home and home work at school,” In other words, students learn outside of class and do homework in class. Watching videos outside of class so they can engage in more interactive activities during class time. Content is delivered differently---at home. Apply in class what is learned at home. Hands on in-class activities do more for learning than an in-class lecture. Content is learned before coming to class. Class time becomes a workshop. It’s all about more time for application!

Flipping the Classroom as an Educational Tool

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Over the past several years, technology has made the idea of "flipping the classroom" an intriguing possibility. In a "flipped" classroom students listen to the lecture on their own time (via video) and use class time to work through problems and issues that in a more traditional classroom would be considered "homework."

# data[].attributes.body
Flipped classroom is an instructional methodology and a type of blended learning that delivers instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom and moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. In a flipped classroom model, students watch online lectures, collaborate in online discussions, or carry out research at home and engage in concepts in the classroom with the guidance of the instructor

Provide an example of something you would do in your classroom. It can be up to 5 minutes—that could be part of your students pre-learning.
- Home - Technological Pre-learning: Instructional pre-learning video. I do a brief history of language teaching methodologies that students watch at home. - Home - Reading and writing: Students read one article about a language teaching approach at home. All students read a different article of their choice (ideas or articles provided by teacher). Additional online research is done at home and a one page-reaction to the approach is written. - In class - Classroom assistance: Students are split into groups (3-4) and discuss their articles and opinions – They share their thoughts about reading and what was learned for specified amount of time. Teacher monitors and provides support. - In class - Enrichment activities: Students create activities that include pair or group work and demonstrate or share their ideas using the Communicative Language Teaching approach. Various language learner scenarios are provided.

Traditional teaching methods and classroom management often lessen student motivation and create the opposite desired behavioral effect. Using traditional classroom management methods, students become uninterested, unmotivated, quiet, and seldom reach their desired ESL goals. By using student centered rules, teachers can create a more motivating and rewarding classroom environment.
1. Setting rules.
2. Modeling.
3. Quiet start.
4. The breaking of a rule.
5. Students decide punishments.
6. The breaking of a rule.
7. Be serious!
8. Reward good behavior.
9. Behind the rules.
10. Give and take.
11. Addition and removal of rewards.
12. Old class, new rules...
