Students' Attitudes toward Project-Based Learning in an Intermediate Spanish Course
Parker, Jerry L.
International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v12 n1 p80-97 2020
The result of continuous advancements in technology is a constant questioning of proper methods for the academic teaching of foreign languages in k-12 and higher education. Using Culturally Relevant Andragogy (Parker, 2019) as a framework, this study sought to understand students' attitudes toward project-based learning in an intermediate Spanish as a second language course. After experiencing such a curriculum, students were surveyed. Results of the survey indicated that students generally liked project-based learning but felt that there were certain drawbacks with its implementation and measuring of their success.
