Methodology Section 5 Chapter 10

This reading talked about content-based approach, which "stimulates students to think and learn through the use of the target language" (108).  It uses a theme with organized materials, meaningful information, incorporates students motivation and interest, and is student-centered.  Going off of this, the project work is introduced.  This is a teaching method that uses a natural extension of what is already taking place in class. It also uses hands-on experience and real-world subjects.  This method has an end product , but it focuses more on the process that leads to the end result.  It is motivating yet challenging process, and even traditional classrooms can use it occasionally.  Project work is, I think, an awesome way to incorporate the students and to get them involved. I think it would be more appropriate to do it for oldre students, maybe younger depending on their level.  I think it would be a great class project to have every student be involved and divide up the tasks so that each student is in charge of something.  Projects are more meaningful to students if they somehow partake in it first hand themselves.  Plus, the students would be able to see how the process works.  It can help with communication skills, planning, team work, and organization.  I plan on using it in my own classroom.
