involved in the project.
 All four skills, reading, writing, listening and speaking are
integrated.
 Autonomous learning is promoted as learners become
more responsible for their own learning.
 There are learning outcomes -learners have an end
product.
 Content and methodology can be decided between the
learners and the teacher and within the group themselves so it
is more learner centred.
 A break from routine and the chance to do something
different.
 A context is established which balances the need for
fluency and accuracy.

interaction and co-operation among the students

21. Learners using their own language
If the class are monolingual they may use their L1 a lot so you
should decide whether the benefits of doing project work
outweigh this factor.
Some learners doing nothing
By giving more freedom to the learners you may also be giving
them the freedom to do nothing! If the project is planned
carefully and roles decided at the proposal stage this is less
likely to happen.
Groups working at different speeds
One group may have 'finished' the project after a couple of
hours and say they have nothing to do. Remind them it is their
responsibility to fill the time allocated to project work and
discuss ways they could extend the work they have already
completed.

23. Ask not what your country can do for you,
Ask what you can do for your country.
(John F. Kennedy)
If you are planning for a year, sow rice;
If you are planning for a decade, plant trees;
If you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.
(Chinese proverb)
