摘要
This paper gives a detailed annlysis of the learner-based teaching in EFL （English as a Foreign Language）. It deals with how we arrive at learner-based teaching, what is the role of teachers and the textbooks, and the advantages and potential problems of learner-based teaching in EFL. The main principle in learner-based teaching is that all class activities can be done in using information that the learners themselves bring into the class. What is novel about learner-based teaching is the idea that all activities can be based on that wealth of experience, their grammar exercises, or translations, etc.. In learner-based teaching, we should know how to help students to teach themselves in learning English. In using a learner-based approach, the learners themselves are responsible for the information input, thereby ensuring its relevance and topicality for each particular group. The basic procedure has two stages First, learners prepare materials which are designed to practice. Second, these materials are passed to other learners in the class who carry out the activities. In this way, students obtain valuable language practice, not only while they are using the materials, but also while they are preparing them as well.
