Pedagogical Review on the Learner-Centered, Communicative and Intercultural Language Classroom

Abstract

Autonomous learning, communicative language teaching (CLT) and intercultural language learning/teaching (ILL/ILT) are essential components in the field of ESL/ EFL education. In the meantime, they are also challenges as well as opportunities for language teachers, who need to keep pace with the development of modern education. This essay will focus on the theoretical groundings, pedagogical implications and reflections of these three aspects (learner autonomy, CLT and ILL/ILT).
