Implementing project-based learning in Armenian public school

Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) is a vastly popular teaching method in which students learn from authentic and personally meaningful projects. Specifically, in English language teaching (ELT), PBL involves students and advances their language skills through projects accomplishments both in and outside of the classroom (Cooper & Murphy, 2016). It deviates from a teacher-centered teaching style when students are hardly allowed to put their ideas into action or practice their language skills in authentic environments. Instead, PBL engages students through the act of inquiry (Leat, 2017) and boosts students’ critical thinking skills.
