PROJECT WORK AS AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Project is a piece of work which involves some kind of investigation and the production of some kind of report. The most important thing is a lot discussion that takes place during project work. All the language use and cooperation among students make projects an effective way of foreign language teaching.
My project is titled THE TEEN GROUPS
In this project students devise a questionnaire and then use it to get results which are interpreted and written up as a report or a wall-sheet.
The project is organised in the following way:
Stage 1: Students are told they are going to write a report or make a poster on teen groups in their town based on a questionnaire that they will design.
Stage 2 : the teacher discusses with the class what kind of information they need and what kind of questions they can ask. The result of the discussion can be :
Types of teen groups: skaters, computer freaks,goths, heavy metal fans, hippies, emos,raggas.
Areas of questions : interests, personality, attitude towards people/life , fashion
Stage 3: the groups of students write their own questionnaires with the help of the teacher.
Stage 4 : the groups question peers, fellow students and collect information
Stage 5 : the students study information they have gathered , draw conclusions and write a report or make a wall-sheet. Their works are presented, compared and assessed.
