Project Based Learning

Have you ever felt like theory is not enough? Or did you understand the theory only after being faced with the practicality of exercises. Well! I might say that the foundations of PBL are based upon this principle. Task Based Learning is perceived as an alternative to traditional teaching. To make it crystal clear: PBL is based around the completion of ONE central project and the language studied there is determined by what happens while the students complete the project. It might last for a whole semester. According to many researchers task can be a real-life situation and in PBL's case it aims to reach the level of ultimate proficiency or said otherwise a native-like communication. When we speak about PBL it is impossible not to mention PPP(Present Practice Produce). PPP is in fact the opposite of Task Based Learning and it is one of the approaches used broadly and with more loyalty than all the rest. In PPP, the teacher initially present the information or deals wit...

Flipped Classroom

Flipped Classroom The approach of "Flipped Classroom" fits to its name. It turns the concept of teaching upside-down. I knew that "flip" was a term used to show a change either horizontally or vertically but I had never heard before about it. Like most of my friends, when our teacher told us that we were going to be part of an online class we were a little bit unprepared. Initially we thought to log in from "Brothers" PC's but then decided to omit that idea altogether since they are not the cheapest place around. To cut things short 305 was our final choice.

We all saw what "Flipped Classroom" was so that would do as the best definition drawn from real-life experience. Being provided with devices and services such as a laptop and a good internet connection the advantages of FC approach are nu...

Webinars

To be honest 3 hours of videos on YT are not easy to watch. And the fact is that I couldn't see every minute of them but I found some things which were more interesting than the rest. The difficult thing with webinars is to get rid of monotony. According to different researchers a highly motivated student looses his attention after a couple of minutes and without a teacher being there to raise or lower its voice it becomes even harder. I liked the fact that the webinars started with the polls on "why are proverbs useful" and "why is grammar difficult". I think that it is good to know the opinions of other people and it is even better to see that you share the same ideas and beliefs with some of them. This makes you aware that pretty much you are all seeking for the same thing. But one thing that might be difficult to be managed during the webinars is commenting on different topics and questions that are thrown in the course of webinar. I think that it is im...
