Modul 5: Project Based Learning (1)

when i was senior high school students, i got many project based learning because i studied at vocational schools. one of the projects that i did was promoting and describing a product to a customer. at that time, i promoted and described a unique pen. so i described its shape, color, function, price, where we can buy it and differences with other pens. in the beginning, i was quite nervous and frankly, i was not confident and my heart beat was fast. But after i finished it, i felt relax. 

i usually choose task which relates to my students, such as relate to their majors, or with their environment and of course, it is about in their age. by choosing the topics about them, they will feel safe and comfortable, also motivate. For example, when we learn how to describe someone, they choose BTS, a famous Korean boyband, whereas they know them as their idol. They already know them in their mother tongue and in English class, it is their project to promote or describe BTS to their friends in English.
