Implementing Project-Based Learning in English Lessons.

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) has established itself as a dynamic, student-centered educational approach, especially in English language teaching. Based on constructivist theory, it encourages students to engage in real-world tasks that integrate language skills with critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. The research aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of concepts, characterizing and highlighting key aspects of Project-Based Learning on English instruction to support educators and researchers in developing and energizing classrooms with evidence-based practices and flexible educational projects. Furthermore, it is relevant to include active strategies with achievable and independent activities, innovative and creative sessions, so that students are encouraged to recognize errors in their English learning and work cooperatively to improve. The conclusion is that Project Based Learning significantly promotes the development of oral competence in English and in turn generates active learning, collaborative work, metacognitive strategies, creativity and motivation for learning which are involved in the PBL Method, thus providing key content during the research, planning and preparation phases which is conclusive, since it is a crucial scaffolding technique.
