The study is designed as a descriptive qualitative and classroom observation to identify students’ participation, motivation, and responses toward English learning under SCL. Findings from the preliminary observation indicate that the students still relatively unmotivated to learn English, and the students passive in learning , during teacher explain the material, the student only listen what teacher saying, even a teacher give them question session, but they decided to silent. Only several student to answer this question. On other side, some students claimed that SCL is helpful because they provided more opportunities, such as discussion, peer support, and collaborative learning, These students feel that working in groups and sharing ideas made the lesson more engaging and helped them understand the material better than when they only listened to teacher explanations. Overall, the results suggest that Student-Centered Learning in this context offers advantages in encouraging student participation and interaction, and the teachers are encouraged to implement SCL gradually by combining structured explanations with interactive activities, providing more guidance, and creating a supportive classroom atmosphere so that students can adapt more easily and experience a more meaningful and engaging English learning process.
