Teachers have a challenge to change and use modern and appropriate methods in class
in order to enhance learner’s performance in learning English as a foreign language .
This study attempts to investigate the learner and teacher’s perception towards using
the learner-centered approach in teaching English and whether is applied or not in
Algerian classes . In addition, the study looked at the teacher and the learner factors as
well as the learning environment .Also, this study focused on learning activities and
learner-centered classes assessment . Moreover, this study was conducted at Al-
Tamimi Secondary School in M’sila , with the participation of 60 second year students
and seven English teachers from the same school. A questionnaires administered to the
learners and an interview for teachers to gain insights about their attitudes towards
learner- centered approach and a checklist is used in order to observe their motivation,
their learning difficulties and their awareness about using different learning
strategies .The results show that learner-centered approach does not exist in Algerian
secondary school classes. Based on this investigation, recommendations are made
