Abstract
The purpose of this study was to uncover Libyan university instructors' and students' perceptions of active learning, focusing on group projects and student-led discussion as two strategies of active learning. Twelve college instructors from the English Department at a School of Liberal Arts in Libya and twenty-four English major undergraduate students from the same school participated in this exploratory study. Research questions focused on instructor and student perceptions of active learning. Data sources included instructor and student online-based surveys and interviews. Findings show that, while students are eager to participate in an active learning environment, instructors are a bit hesitant due to some contextual limitations.
