“Learners must no longer sit there and expect to be taught; teachers must no longer stand up there teaching all the time. Teachers have to learn to let go and learners have to learn to take hold” (Brian Page).
• an activity which centers around the completion of a task, and which usually requires an extended amount of independent work either by an individual student or by a group of students. Much of this work takes place outside the classroom;
• a versatile vehicle for fully integrated language and content learning, which represents a natural extension of what is already taking place in class;
• an approach to learning which compliments mainstream methods and which can be used with almost all levels, ages and abilities of students.
Project
Project work is thought to be an activity which promotes:
• CO-OPERATIVE LEARNING, • the principles of STUDENT – CENTRED TEACHING,
• language learning through using the language for authentic communicative purposes.
A project involves:
• finding the answers to questions;
• reading about the topic, visiting sites or places;• talking to other people who know something about the topic;
• documentation – collecting information and preserving the experience by writing about it, taking photographs, or videotaping.
• hands-on investigation;
The students move out of the classroom
They complete their planned tasks (e.g. conducting interviews, collecting information).
When the project is completed it is reviewed and monitored.
Procedures
Three stages:1.Classroom planning (the students and
teacher discuss the content and scope of the project, and their needs);
2.Carrying out the project (the students move out of the classroom to complete their planned tasks (e.g. conducting interviews, collecting information));
3.Reviewing and monitoring (this includes discussions and feedback sessions by the teacher and participants, both during and after the project).
The expert in content-based instruction, Fredericka L. Stroller, proposes a 10-step sequence of activities for orchestrating project work:STEP 1: Agree on a theme for the projectSTEP 2: Determine the final outcomeSTEP 3: Structure the projectSTEP 4: Prepare students for the language demands of STEP 5STEP 5: Gather informationSTEP 6: Prepare students for the language demands of STEP 7STEP 7: Compile and analyze informationSTEP 8: Prepare students for the language demands of STEP 9STEP 9: Present final productSTEP 10: Evaluate the project.
