About Prosper Xolani

My name is Prosper Xolani Nkomo from Central College High Alberton. I am a English, LO educator currently corresponding with UNISA.

Since 2014 I've worked as a tutor for 4 years before i was allocated to Central College, i served under a few temporary School Governing Body posts and through that i managed to gain experience and produce good results in schools i worked with. I'm one of the top tutors in Ekurhuleni South D16 under the SSIP program held by SCI-BONO.

About the lesson

Much like the task-based approach, the project-based approach is meant to address students’ real needs by adapting language to the skills and competencies they truly need personally and/or professionally.

The application of this approach begins by determining the one, global objective that the individual or group of students have.

For example, if you’re teaching a business English class, you should look at why students are in the class to begin with and plan accordingly. One time when working for a corporate client, I taught a room full of accountants who were all vying for promotions up for grabs in their company.

Naturally, I taught them differently than I would students interested in learning casual English conversations because of the nature of their jobs. They had to produce specific monthly reports in English for multiple departments in their office. So, we broke one sample report into sections and analyzed each segment. Each student prepared the sections as if they were the real thing.

In class, discussed the difficulties my students encountered, in addition to covering all the vocabulary and grammar needed to complete each section. Their final project was a finished report they could submit to their boss for approval, and the criteria we used to create the report was based their company handbook. It was a lot of work, but we had fun with it.

But what if you have a class full of teenagers who don’t want to be in class to begin with? Start by doing a needs assessment, looking at what they’re interested in and what topics they really need to know.

This assessment will lead to the design of one overarching project that will become the end result of the class, term or course. This project can be anything from an oral presentation to a large-scale production such as a class play. Whatever the case, the project must be comprised of individual tasks that lead students to the goals in the assessment.
