Project-Based Learning is new in our school. I introduced it into my classes slowly, but surely. I used the school textbook to enrich the students data. I let them surf the Internet to get and compile information. Then, they swap what they have, read and discuss. Students are asked to write their reflections, then the group leaders collect [and compile] the reflections into a publication. For the first time here in Syria, students know that they can learn more out[side] of the class' four walls.

We did a lot of activities although it was somehoew difficult to make a change. You know, people are always afraid of change, [but] I am thrilled that my students now can use English fluently. Yes, they have broken the ice with English and they can communicate well. Furthermore, they [have] master[ed] their own learning.
