dc.description.abstract	Learner centered teaching approach is a general approach to teaching and learning which aims to place the learners at the center of the learning process. It has been implemented all over the world due to its positive impact to leaners. Here, students became more responsible in their own learning as it gave them a chance to explore and be engaged in their own learning process. This approach became popular in 1920s under Froebel’s society and through its success in providing academic performance, it has been used globally as well as in African countries for the better preparation of learners. Due to availability of large classroom and few number of teachers, this method was thought to be more effective in learning and teaching. Most teachers enhance learner centered teaching strategy as it encourages more student engagement, boosts self-esteem, promotes intellectual growth, helps students form more nuanced views of the past, and enhances students grasp of key concepts and ideas (L Murphy, 2021).The research aimed to examine the influence of leaner centered teaching approaches on the performance of English and literature as well as establishing the extent in which they influence students’ academic performance. The research used simple random sampling technique. Questionnaires were also used in data collection using Likert’s scale. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and was represented in percentage tables. The conclusion of the research was that these learner centered teaching approaches positively influenced the learners’ academic performance. Some of the recommendations were to allocate resources to support learner centered practices which involved providing adequate funding for innovative teaching tools and additional staffing to facilitate small groups. For further study, it was recommended that the study can be replicated in other schools in other parts of the country to assess the influence of learner centered teaching approaches in the academic performance in English and Literature which will ensure that there are better measures put in place to increase the general performance of these schools.	en_US
