Global Explorer 2014
25. The Trouble Is….
• I’ve never done it before
• It’s different
• It’s too messy
• I can’t find the materials
• The IWB isn’t working
• Too much Chinese, not enough English
• Students don’t understand what to do
• The students won’t pay attention
• Etc….
Global Explorer 2014
26. Lessons Learned
• Try out the project yourself before you go to
class.
• Everything will take longer for the students
to do than you think it should!
Global Explorer 2014
27. Lessons Learned
• If the students are going to make
something, show the students a
finished example.
• If they are supposed to be creative, then show
a range of examples.
• Some will copy the examples while
others will follow the basic idea to
make their own.
Global Explorer 2014
28. • Demonstrate (model) the key steps.
• Break down instructions or steps into small,
comprehensible pieces.

someone to do the project if you had zero
shared language.

including natural, authentic
speech.

Go through the Project Work benefits
According to Rod Ellis, a task has four main characteristics:[4]
A task involves a primary focus on (pragmatic) meaning.
A task has some kind of ‘gap’ (Prabhu identified the three main types as information gap, reasoning gap, and opinion gap).
The participants choose the linguistic resources needed to complete the task.
A task has a clearly defined, non-linguistic outcome

Sum up the benefits of Global Explorer 2014
Introduce the ACH breakdown
Note the difference between GE 2013 and 2014 – each Marco Polo work will last 0.5ACH, each Travel Journal will last 1.5ACH
Introduce the GE course components: Books + Marco Polo + Travel Journal – point out here that Product Development team revised the project materials and created a Travel Journal that will replace the old DIY Country Album
Explain the Step concept
There are 6 books for each age group
Step1 to Step6
Step 1 & 2 = Low
Step 3 & 4 = Mid
Step 5 & 6 = High
We start with odd Steps (1, 3, 5), after 3 weeks we switch to even steps (2, 4, 6)

Bullet points will not come up until a single click is made. You may want to give the question and ask for trainees’ suggestions before giving the suggested answer. Don’t worry if this definition seems too complex (see next slide).
For this slide, you may want to ask the question and then put the trainees into small groups to discuss the question and to give feedback. After this you can give the suggested answers.
Here are some suggestions of potential problems which may be encountered by teachers doing Project Work. These may be given in addition to the list(-s) which the trainees made during slide 5.
The remaining slides contain practical tips for conducting Project Work.
A note to the second point – care must be taken in matching expectations of the level and type of language which the students might be expected to produce with the nature of the project itself. If the project is quite simple, then complex language should not necessarily be expected.
