8 What is PBL? Definition: Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. (Buck Institute, 2015, http://bie.org/about/what_pbl)http://bie.org/about/what_pbl

9 Essential Components of “Gold- Standard PBT and PBL” (Buck Institute, Setting the Standard for Project-Based Learning, 2015) Source: BIEBIE Source: BIEBIE

10 Why PBL? 1.Connects English language learning with content through content-based problem-solving 2.Applies Nation & Macalister’s curricular principles (2010) : Value of language learning Autonomous learners The “four strands” of language fluency 1.meaning-focused input 2.language-focused learning 3.meaning-focused output 4.fluency activities 3.Uses the target language for authentic communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and decision-making for creating a product Bloom’s Taxonomy 4.Leverages technology in a constructivist approach to support content-based instruction/learning Source: Center for Teaching, Vanderbilt UniversityCenter for Teaching, Vanderbilt University

11 Content-Based Instruction (CBI) an important approach in language education (Brinton, Snow, & Wesche, 1989). instruction in content and language. One form of CBI: topic/theme-based approach Advantages of CBI: Exposure to comprehensible input (i+1); integrated skill-based activities real life, authentic context  intrinsic motivation for critical thinking Just-in time learning and delivery of information Active learner involvement; hands-on experience CBI content language

12 Technology in PBL TPACK—Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) – the integration of Technological Knowledge (TK) -- CALL Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) -- teaching/scaffolding, Content Knowledge (CK)--CBI Technology is “embedded all along the project path.” – Learning goals driving technology – Familiar and accessible tools – Some training in the tools (tutorials) – Using students’ digital skills The teacher as facilitator The conduit to learning 21 st century skills Source: TPACK.orgTPACK.org
