The present study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of using the Student-Centered Learning (SCL) Approach in Developing Some Writing Skills in English for the Secondary Stage Students. Writing a paragraph was the main concern of the study. It used a quasi-experimental method in design. The sample included (47) second year secondary students in Beni-Suef Secondary School for Girls. In the light of working as an EFL secondary stage teacher and the literature reviewed, students in the secondary stage encounter some hardships on writing. The researcher used some of the SCL approach strategies to help students develop some writing skills. The current study used a pre-post writing test, a survey of students' writing attitudes and a programme designed by the researcher to attain the goals of the study. The one group design was used. After conducting the pre-posttest, the statistical analysis of the raw score results showed that the SCL approach showed high gains and better results on the posttest and post survey. It also had a good effect on the students' attitudes and motivation towards writing. The study recommended using the SCL approach to teach other language skills, in all stages of education and to teach other subjects.
