As an instructional approach Project-based learning contextualizes teaching by presenting learners with problems to solve or products to develop.
Project based learning functions as a connecting bridge between using communicative English in class and using English in real life situations outside of class. It does this by placing learners in situations that require authentic use of language in order to communicate. When learners work in pairs or in teams, they find they need some definite skills to plan, organize, negotiate, make their points, and arrive at a consensus about issues such as what tasks to perform, how to distribute tasks among partners, who will be responsible for each task, and how information will be researched and presented.
Students' Research Projects have been practiced at the Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages and Social Sciences, replacing traditional diploma papers. Thanks to the learners' great organizational efforts, mutual understanding and responsibility, pedagogical and social skills, these projects became real implementations of interactive cooperation among students in different teams. Learners develop research products introducing their inner motivation, individual interest and responsibility to solve problems and work together.
