How many projects do you do with your kids in a semester? Projects can be a wonderful way to get students to do specific work to prepare a task focusing on a targeted part of the language. Doing projects in our EFL classes can be great... but they can also fall flat without the right direction. 

We should follow some guidelines to maximize the benefits of doing projects in our English classes, especially for teen classes.

This is what we are talking about today with our guest Mahaela Palimariu, a professional English teacher and conference speaker. I've recently had a chance to attend the ACEIA teaching conference in Seville, Spain. One of the conference speakers was Mahaela, and I asked her to join me on the podcast to share her knowledge and wisdom with you.

She gives some specific pieces of advice to get the most out of your ESL projects to get all of the students to contribute and benefit from the project. Learn some tips, advice, project ideas, and methodology, plus a whole lot more in today's jam-packed episode of the More Than English Podcast.
