Abstract
Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that has students work on a common project in a collaborative environment. PBL has been found to have positive impacts on students’ confidence and critical thinking abilities. In an attempt to implement PBL in classrooms for students majoring in English language and literature and to provide an example of PBL to researchers and practitioners, this study outlines a PBL course designed for English language and literature students. A survey investigating students’ perceptions and level of satisfaction with the course was conducted to analyze their experiences with PBL. The findings showed that students who participated in the PBL course found it helped them improve their real world and practical English abilities and appreciated the feedback they received from the instructor. They also reported increased confidence in using English. Still, instructors considering the use of PBL should consider the issues of time management and teamwork building activities. Implications and considerations for implementing PBL are discussed.
