Description

Projects are a sequence of connected tasks, done over an extended period of time such as a semester, and leading to a higher-order outcome than any of its component tasks. For example, "Make a podcast" can be a project, which might comprise tasks such as "Brainstorm topic ideas," "Research a topic," "Write a script," and "Record an episode." This workshop presents practical ideas on how to set up and assess projects in the ELT classroom.
