A learner-centered approach is emphasized in this curriculum. This is based on the firm belief that learning becomes more permanent, meaningful and exciting when learners themselves take ownership of the learning process. Instructors are therefore urged to contrive those classroom strategies that engage learners actively in the teaching and learning process.
