91810 SEJ 8 Class Project

Promotional Campaign
Rationale
Project-based learning has been defined differently by various authors, but perhaps at its simplest, it is an instructional approach that contextualizes learning by presenting learners with problems to solve or products to develop (Moss & Van Duzer, 1998). Projects are generally thought of as a long-term (several weeks) activity (Beckett, 2002) which are part of an instructional method which promote[s] the simultaneous acquisition of language, content, and skills (Beckett & Slater, 2005). A major goal of project-based instruction is comprehensible output (Beckett, 2002), which generally occurs both during the project and as the final product of the project. During this project, you will develop: Core language skills Translation skills Meta-cognitive skills Educational technology skills

Description
