For many teachers, projects are a great learning opportunity for younger learners but not for teen classes, where the pressure is on to prepare for exams and time is limited. This webinar explores how projects can be an excellent way of helping students practise the language skills needed for exams as well as allow them scope for personalisation, creativity and also allow them to push their English beyond the exam level, while providing motivation and variety to exam-focussed classes. We will consider how projects can be used in the current times to support home-schooling and distance-teaching outcomes. The webinar identifies what makes a project different to other learning activities and how those differences add value to the student experience both when working alone and in groups.
