Description
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that encourages learning by actively engaging students in real-world, personally meaningful projects. The inclusion of project sections in most English textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam is clear evidence of the application of PBL. However, not all teachers are fully prepared to plan and conduct project-based lessons. This workshop will briefly discuss the benefits and challenges of PBL and explore its application in teaching English at primary schools in Vietnam. Important guiding questions and basic steps for implementing PBL will be provided. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in several hands-on activities related to planning and conducting a PBL lesson for primary school students. By the end of the workshop, participants are expected to feel more confident in implementing PBL in their classrooms.
Key words: Project-based learning, primary schools, benefits, challenges, hands-on activities
