Drawing on various scholarly works, this article provides insights into how these learner-centered methodologies foster critical thinking, collaboration, and autonomy in English and literature courses. By analyzing the contributions of educators and learners, the research highlights the pedagogical benefits and challenges of implementing these approaches.
