They should be prepared to 21st century with its skills including 4 cs. These comprise communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. They should also be trained to become life-long learners. Life-long learning enables students to learn continuously regardless of time or place. It also requires that EFL students learn how-to-learn, learn how to work, learn how live with others, and learn how to be. To achieve such requirements, EFL teachers should help students learn through self-directed learning (autonomous learning), project-based learning and challenge-based learning.
