PROJECT TYPES
COLLECTION PROJECTS – require students to collect
materials or physical objects in order to categorize or
interrelate them.
INFORMATIONAL PROJECTS – require extensive
amounts of reading or library research to obtain
information about a wide range of topics
ORIENTATION PROJECTS – require extensive research,
but their main purpose is to orient people to a new place
SOCIAL WELFARE PROJECTS – are designed to serve the
needs of audiences other than the students themselves
ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT
WORK
INCREASED MOTIVATION – learners become
personally involved in the project
ALL FOUR SKILLS are integrated
AUTONOMOUS LEARNING is promoted as learners
become more responsible for their own learning
THERE ARE LEARNING OUTCOMES – learners have
an end product
AUTHENTIC TASKS and therefore the language
input are more authentic
ORGANISZING A PROJECT
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS are developed through
working as a group
CONTENT AND METHODOLOGY can be decided by
the learners and the teacher so it is more learner
controlled
LEARNERS OFTEN GET HELP FROM PARENTS thus
involving the parent more in the child’s learning
A BREAK FROM THE ROUTINE and the chance to do
something different
A CONTEXT IS ESTABLISHED which balances the
need for fluency and accuracy
POSSIBLE DRAWBACKS TO PROJECT WORK
LEARNERS USING THEIR OWN LANGUAGE – so
the teacher has to decide whether the benefits of
doing project work outweigh this factor
SOME LEARNERS DOING 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
The process of devising a project implies lots
of revision, learning from others and
from the materials which are used.
Acquisition takes place, as does self- and
peer correction and evaluation and the
use of all skills in order to produce a
piece of work to be presented to the
whole class.
