The application of project-based language learning in basic English education in Mainland China
Xu, Yong Jun1, Kok, Jin Kuan2, Gerard Sagaya Raj A Rajoo3, Siah, Poh Chua4.
Project-based language learning (PBLL) is a language teaching method which
organizes instructional activities by doing projects. Many language teachers regard PBLL as a
powerful and effective language teaching method and conduct a lot of studies to explore the
application of PBLL in the different ESL/EFL learning contexts. However, PBLL needs to be
adapted and localized to cater to the features of local language teachers, students and local
learning context when it is brought in a particular ESL/EFL learning context. So far, fewer
studies have been conducted to explore the application and the localization of PBLL in basic
English education in mainland China. Therefore, this paper constructs a new model of PBLL
based on the features of basic English education in mainland China and follows this model to
conduct PBLL in a secondary school in Ningbo China. The experimental results reveals that
the new model of PBLL can promote students’ language learning, content learning and
integrated skills’ development, which manifests that the new model of PBLL is feasible and
reasonable.
