Project  Learning

         The generation of the 21-st century does not accept traditional methods of teaching anymore and we have already faced the urgent need to make changes in traditional education and old textbooks. So we are trying to use new methods of teaching and project learning is one of them.

         This year we have started realizing project learning. It is part of our curriculum. The project learning method allows us to create student-centered environment and one of the advantages of project learning is group work. Students learn to work as a team, collaborate with each other and have discussions. We, teachers guide students, encourage them, create a motivating atmosphere, give advice, provide them with necessary information.    

         Students like when they are engaged in something that interests them. They learn to listen to others, discuss, and come to conclusion. Project work helps to   improve their communicative skills, skills in searching information, finding solutions to problems, doing research work and translations and being more creative.

          Our school is one of the few schools in Armenia that uses technologies in education and the students have all possibilities to present their project presentations through media. The students’ blogs are good educational environment. Presenting the work in their blogs makes students more responsible as they present their project not only to their teacher and classmates, but also to other people.

            In conclusion I would like to mention that of course we, are having some difficulties, but everything seems hard at the beginning and I hope we’ll improve our teaching skills working  with new methods.
