Abstract

In the globalization era, educational system is so much complex that no single learning approach works for everyone. Hence, educational psychologists focus on identifying and studying learning methods to better understand how people absorb and retain new information. They apply theories of human development to reveal the individual learning and the instructional process. Interaction with teachers and students in language classrooms is not the only facet of the job. Through education learners try to impart knowledge, improve their power of reasoning, and make them prepare intellectually for a long-life process of education. Teachers as the vital elements of the educational system try to identify the learners’ educational needs, abilities, attitudes, interests, motivational level, and temperaments by observing their treatments to unravel their difficulties and involve these variables in performance. Through effective interaction and socialization, an educator can induce social and moral values of the society in learners, cause them to fully participate in and contribute to self-development and to the needs of the classrooms and educational centers. The present research tries to figure out the learners’ educational needs in EFL classrooms and tackle their learning difficulties. It also examines how students learn in various contexts to identify approaches and strategies to make learning more effective.
