摘要：AbstractThe present study aims at exploring the effect of a Learner-Centered Instruction on non-English major students’ attitude toward academic English course. Based on a pedagogical framework driven from Hutchinson and Waters’ Learning-Centered approach for language instruction, it was assumed that such an approach would be more successful in changing students’ attitude leading them to a better achievement through encouraging the use of effective skills and considering the learners’ role throughout the instruction. Therefore, 30 students were selected as an intact experimental group. Following a pretest, treatment, and a posttest, the obtained data was analyzed using t-test to examine the effect of instruction on students’ attitudes toward English course. The results indicated that students who receive a learning-centered instruction, as opposed to teacher-oriented methods, express positive attitude toward English course.
