This study aims to delineate the significance of using student centered instructional approaches for enhancing learners’ competency in vocabulary learning, in higher education. The working group for this study comprised of 26 students studying the Foundation Year Program in the English Language Centre at University of Bahrain during the academic year 2018-2019. Student Centered “instructions designed according to the model consisting of nine steps of instructional events based on the Condition of Learning theory by Robert. M. Gagne” was used for this purpose. Gagne's model of instructional design provides valuable guidelines to organize lessons as a systematic instructional design process. It focuses on the instructional learning outcomes and how to organize specific instructional events to facilitate effective learning experiences in order to accomplish the intended learning objectives. Applying Gagne's nine stages of learning administers a systematic learning program as it presents a structured framework for lesson planning and a holistic view to the teaching learning process. Prior to using this series of nine levels of learning, students were given a pretest, in order to understand the stratum of active and passive vocabulary they utilize in language learning. At the end of the study, students were evaluated by a post test. The results demonstrated that learner centered instructional approach was successful in augmenting learners ’retention and transfer of productive and receptive vocabulary knowledge in language learning therefore, such learner centred instructional approaches are cogent for paving higher educational academic accomplishments and promoting learner autonomy.
