CITY PROJECT: an interdisciplinary unit about a Utopian City #ESO3

 CITY PROJECT: an interdisciplinary unit about a Utopian city 

According to teachingenglish.org.uk, the Project Based Learning approach takes learner-centredness to a higher level. It shares many aspects with Task Based Learning, but if anything, it is even more ambitious. Whereas TBL makes a task the central focus of a lesson, PBL often makes a task the focus of a whole term or academic year.

Our students as crafters of their own imaginary city

The goal is to offer our students an opportunity to develop their language and skills in motivating and enjoyable ways.

First Sessions

Science, Geography and Literacy were intermingled to create the favourable atmosphere and conditions so that the students could design a city providing an ideal, or supposedly ideal, environment for their inhabitants.

Next Sessions

 Final Sessions: SHARING YOUR CREATION, that presentation of the very different cities.

The main focus of the project lies on the linguistic aspects of the creation of a fictional world. There are numerous ways in which the use of Utopian, personalised cities can be used to develop students’ writing, reading, listening and speaking skills.
