Project-based Learning, Language Learning, Motivation, Comprehensible InputAbstract
Project-based learning is a constructivist method of instruction that helps students develop their social skills, problem-solving abilities, and higher-level subject knowledge as they work through real-world problems. Language education could greatly benefit from project-based language learning since it could make language instruction interesting and relevant. Project-based learning has the potential to offer English language learners opportunities for both integrated language learning and comprehensible output. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of project-based learning on students' development of proficiency in the English language as well as their perceptions of it.
