The 2013 Curriculum marks a significant shift toward a learner-centered approach in English language teaching, aiming to empower students through the use of innovative instructional strategies that foster critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. It emphasizes active student involvement and the development of functional language skills beyond the classroom. However, its implementation presents challenges such as limited teacher training, classroom management difficulties, and resource constraints. This study explores how the 2013 Curriculum strategies are applied in English language teaching using a qualitative method, including interviews and classroom observations. The findings reveal that approaches like collaborative learning, task-based learning, project-based learning, and inquiry-based learning positively influence student engagement and language proficiency. While both students and teachers responded positively to the curriculum, the success of its implementation relies heavily on adequate professional development and institutional support. The study highlights the need to equip educators with sufficient knowledge, resources, and pedagogical skills to ensure effective application of the curriculum’s learner-centered strategies in EFL classrooms.
