Abstract

Dr. Ali Abdul Mohsin Al-Hajmee

Volume: 13 Issue: 2 2023

Abstract:

To better promote the various elements of learning, the language education industry has made a considerable shift to a more learner-centered approach. While peer tutoring in the classroom has a large body of literature, there is little study on this method in the field of foreign language in higher education. Teaching and learning a second language should not always follow a linear approach, with the teacher at one end and the student at the other. Since English is a worldwide language, it is essential for communicating with English speakers and should be required for postgraduate study. Language and communication are fundamental to human existence.
