Creating EFL Activities for Military Students: A Project-Based Learning Approach

Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that centers around students working on real-world situations. It is a highly effective way to teach English language learners, as it allows them to practice their language skills in a meaningful and contextualized way. PBL is also an excellent method for teaching military students since it assists them in developing the skills and information required for success in their careers. PBL fosters teamwork and collaboration. Students work together on projects, learning how to communicate, delegate tasks, and resolve conflicts – skills that are vital in the workplace. PBL is hands-on and interactive, therefore when students apply concepts to solve real problems, they are more likely to retain the information and the knowledge becomes more memorable and meaningful. The present paper provides practical examples and arguments in favor of using project-based learning in EFL military classrooms as a means of enhancing language acquisition and fostering critical thinking skills.
