- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand practitioner's teaching practices in order to bring changes and improvements. The study is conducted through the framework of action research. Thus, action research is always considered as a practice changing practice (Kemmis, 2007). The prime object of the study is to improve teaching practices and suggest some new emerging trends to implicate in teaching and learning practices. However, the study doesn't only narrate the problem, but it also resolves and improves the teacher practices. The study tends to describe the practice and reflection employing group interviews as a data collection instrument. Considerably, the collected data was qualitatively analyzed to develop understanding to improve practices and increase motivation among students learning English as a compulsory subject. The study reports that students' motivation is increased with new teaching practices which are student centered. These teaching practices in the action phase indicate that students are satisfied with student centered learning.
