Abstract

Replacing the traditional view of the curriculum as a statement of what should be done in a course of study, the learner-centered curriculum takes as its starting point what is done by language teachers in their classes. In an attempt to develop a negotiated model in which the curriculum is seen as a collaboration between teachers and students, this project aims at analysis of learner narratives focusing on theirself-concept (metacognitive knowledge) as writers. The research aims to focus on the premise that as a cohesive group, learners do try to assert power that can potentially transform teaching-learning activities. In this sense, a fundamental objective of the project is to consider learner narratives as strategic rhetoric. The paper argues that analysis paves the way for a negotiated curriculum in writing skills that can more accurately gauge learner needs and can optimally deploy learning and communication strategies that the learners already possess
