ENGAGING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS IN THE CLASSROOM
Abstract
This article explores the application of project-based learning (PBL) as a dynamic approach to engage English Language Learners (ELLs) in the classroom. PBL offers a student-centered methodology that encourages inquiry, collaboration, and problem-solving while providing authentic, real-world applications for language acquisition. By integrating PBL into English language education, educators can create immersive learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs and backgrounds of ELLs. This article examines the principles, strategies, and benefits of implementing PBL with ELLs, highlighting its effectiveness in promoting language proficiency, cultural competence, and 21st-century skills. Through real-world applications and examples, this article demonstrates how PBL can transform English language learning into a meaningful and engaging journey for ELLs.
