communication to complete authentic activities, they have the opportunity to use language in a relatively natural context. A 

further benefit is that project work progresses according to the specific context and students’ interests that enhanced 

motivation, engagement and enjoyment.  

There are many types of projects that can be done in the classroom, and more they relate to the real world and 

interesting current events, the more they will result in the use of authentic language to accomplish a task. That is why before 

introducing the project, it is important to decide which part of material or task included into curriculum can be converted 

into project task to reach language goals and increase students’ positive attitudes toward learning.  

In my EFL class project work is usually performed by a group of students, or individually. Depending on the material, 

this work can be done and presented during the lesson or given as home work. The main objectives are to inform students 

about an issue of current popular interest and encourage them to use the language skills and structures that have been 

introduced in class before the project. 

Another important point in pre-project consideration is making sure that students will work at a suitable degree of 

difficulty. Motivation is decreased when tasks are consistently too easy or too difficult for learners. When task are too easy 

for students, they become bored and do not learn. If tasks are too difficult, students will become non-responsive. 

To sum up teaching EFL class is a complex process and variety of methods applied makes learning beneficial. Project-based 

learning is obviously a challenge; to be successful; the teacher must take several important factors into consideration. The 

reward is increase of student interest and involvement in acquiring a foreign language.
