Project work with teenagers Presentation Kuchieva Tatiana School №31 Project work is becoming an increasingly popular feature within the ELT classroom. Common projects are class magazines, group wall displays about students' countries and designs for cities of the future. A project involves students in deciding together what they want to do to complete a project whilst the teacher plays a more supporting role. A PROJECT INVOLVES STUDENTS IN DECIDING TOGETHER WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, WHILST THE TEACHER PLAYS A MORE SUPPORTING ROLE. Projects provide creative opportunities for meaningful language use at all language levels from primary upwards. The best types of projects are those which draw on the student’s own experience and world in comparison to another English-speaking country. Project – 1. A carefully planned piece of work to get information about something, to build something, to improve something.2. A part of school or college course that involves careful study of a particular subject over a period of time. Pearson Longman. New Edition.
