1. Online course
Project based learning

2. Today’s lesson is about project based
learning
• The aim of this lesson is to understand the
concept of project based learning and its
implication in language teaching
• By the end of the course you will have a quiz
to solve

3. Let’s start;
• Let’s define first what is project based
learning(PBL)
• PBL is a teaching method in which students
gain knowledge and skills by working for an
extended period of time to investigate and
respond to an engaging and complex question
,problem ,and challenges.

4. PBL is:
Student centred
pedagogy
Dynamic
classroom
Deeper
knowledge
Learn a subject
by working to
solve
Challenges,
problems real
word exploration

5. The structure of PBL
project based learning focuses on the
following structures
Long term instructional
Student organize
their work
Explore problems Collaborative work

6. Essential elements of PBL
• KEY knowledge , understanding and success skills( PBL
focuses on students learning goals including standards based
content and skills such as critical thinking problem solving and self
managements
• Challenging problems or questioning; the PBL framed by
meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer at the
appropriate level of challenge
• Sustained inquiry: students engaged in a rigorous extended process
of asking questions finding resources and applying information
• Authenticity: PBL features the real world context , task and tools
,quality standards or impact or speaks to student’s personal
concerns , interests ,and issues in their lives

7. Now we have to refer to both teachers
and students role in PBL
TEACHER’S ROLE STUDENT’S ROLE
Facilitator Determine their project
Develop the atmosphere of responsibility Collective work
Feedback and assessments Use technology
Evaluate the finished product and
learning that it demonstrates
Involvement
Ownership their success
Those are the main roles for both teachers and learners in PBL IN which we can see that
the role have shifted from teacher centred to learner centred

8. The advantages of PBL
• MORE important than learning content ,students need to learn to work in a
community , thereby taking on social responsibilities.
• The most significant contribution of PBL have been in schools in marginalized area
where when students take responsibility or ownership for their learning , their self
esteem increases.
• It also helps to create a better work habits and attitude toward learning
• Although students do work in groups, they also become more independent
because they are receiving little instruction from the teacher
• Student have to find answer to questions and combine them using critical thinking
skills to come up with answers
• Technology allows learners to search in more useful ways , along with getting more
rapid results
• With PBL students also learn skills that are essential in higher education

9. Project-based learning has no magic plan you can use to guide you. It’s flexible and it’s a
curriculum planning tool that’s often used to “embed” other learning methods like game-
based learning, blended learning, place-based learning, and so on.
This means you will need some inspiration to get a first taste of project-based learning. I
went through some sites to find some challenging project-based learning examples. Here
