‘Learner-centredness’, or ‘student-centredness’, has become a frequently used buzzword in education and ELT more specifically. However, it is subject to multiple interpretations, and has been defined inconsistently in the literature (Neumann 2013; Starkey 2017). In many cases, ‘learner-centred’ seems to be used as a ‘hooray word’ (Harber and Davies 1997: 111); that is to say, a term that is advocated on a theoretical or political level, but may mean relatively little in practice.

以学习者为中心

“以学习者为中心”或“以学生为中心”已成为教育和ELT中更常用的流行词。然而，它受到多种解释，并且在文献中定义不一致（Neumann 2013； Starkey 2017）。在许多情况下，“以学习者为中心”似乎被用作“万恶一词”（Harber and Davies 1997：111）；也就是说，在理论或政治层面上倡导的一个术语，但实际上意味着相对较少。
