Student-centered learning (SCL) has emerged as a transformative approach in higher education, emphasizing the active role of students in their own learning process. Unlike traditional teacher-centered methods, SCL prioritizes learners’ needs, experiences, and interests, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and autonomy. This study explores the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and outcomes of student-centered learning methods for B2-level higher education students. Drawing upon extensive literature review and empirical data from case studies and surveys, the research highlights the effectiveness of active learning strategies, collaborative activities, and personalized feedback in enhancing student engagement and academic achievement. The findings suggest that SCL methods not only improve knowledge retention and comprehension but also cultivate essential soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and self-regulation. Challenges in implementation, including resistance to change, varying student readiness, and institutional constraints, are also discussed. This study contributes to the growing body of research on innovative pedagogical practices, providing actionable recommendations for educators seeking to transition from traditional teaching approaches to a more student-centered model. Ultimately, the research underscores the significance of designing flexible, inclusive, and interactive learning environments that respond to diverse student needs and promote lifelong learning. The insights gained from this study can inform curriculum development, teaching strategies, and policy-making in higher education institutions worldwide.
