In the 21st century, the focus of teaching and learning has radically shifted. The historic emphasis on teacher (guru), is now focused on the learning and development of the learner. Micheal Lessard-Clouston has suggested a few approaches for language learning which can be adopted by the teachers. A method of unrestrained participation in the development of their own communicative abilities with the help of tools is already making its way. Teacher, classes, programs, departments and institutions play a vital role in the learner’s development. Active learning, student-engagement, critical thinking, analysis of arguments and generate hypotheses are some skills acquired by the learner. Without the focus on the learner the entire concern of teaching – learning process, would become invalid . One must understand and give space, choice and voice to the learner, though traditional emphasis on teacher involvement is abundantly necessary, in fact teacher should be very vigorously engaged with learner development.
