Keywords:
Project-based learning, primary students, teaching EnglishAbstract
Project-based learning is to help students acquire knowledge via their hand-on experiences in handling a real problem and challenge or engaging in a meaningful project. As a learner-centered method,
project-based learning has been applied widely in various subjects to improve education quality. However, in teaching learners of English at lower levels like primary students, teachers might find it challenging to take advantages of this innovative method due to the young age of the learners as well as the difficulty and the complexity of the tasks required. This paper, consequently, provides some theories in project based learning and how to apply them in teaching English for primary students. Detailed plans and pictures of two English projects for grade 3 and grade 5 learners are also incorporated to exemplify the whole process of project-based learning to suggest a practical guideline for primary teachers of English in adopting this method in their classrooms.
