Simply giving the learners time on the computers can lead to them aimlessly surfing the
net. Jf the facility is available learners often like to write finished drafts of their work on the
computer.

Pre-Presentation
This stage is very important especially for those who are doing
project work tor the first or second time. As Gallacher says ‘projects need to be seen, read and
admired so schedule the last project session as a presentation’.
After the first week I often invite the project builders for previewing or more often they
themselves organize that viewing so as to address deficiencies and drawbacks and improve it.
5.1
Presentation
It is important to limit the project presentation — it will make students focus on the
essential points of the presenthtion and its most interesting things avoiding other secondary
information. I also ask the pres nters to point out or underline some places during the
presentation and somehow call for attention at this moment — after presentation the
presenters ask questions so as to provide feedback.

Evaluation
Every presentation is accompanied by cheers! One more thing: students are asked to
bring two colored cut out circles — red and blue. These are the evaluating circles: every
presentation is valued by all students red is excellent, blue is good; so, the group of presenters
get two marks one from students voting and the other is mine as teacher grasps more aspects
than students do.
The technology of project method application in teaching English is really transparent
and easy to follow and any teacher who is fond of teaching creatively and applying such
technologies that bring the class together in seeking for the best way to apply the language
close to reality are true providers of success. [6, 9)
We see that the advantages of project work are: increased motivation, when learners
become personally involved in the project; all four skills, reading, writing, listening and
speaking, are integrated; autonomous learning is promoted as learners become more
responsible for their own learning; there are learning outcomes -learners have an end product;
authentic tasks and therefore the language input are more authentic; interpersonal relations
are developed through working as a group; content and methodology can be decided between
the learners and the teacher and within the group themselves so it is more learner centered;
learners often get help from parents for project work thus involving the parent more in the
child's learning. If the project is also displayed, parents can see it at open days or when they
pick the child up from the school; a break from routine and the chance to do something
different; context is established which balances the need for fluency and accuracy. So, the main
purpose of our article was to introduce and/or support the use of new learning and teaching
methods and technologies at universities. Project work is becoming an increasingly feature
within the ELT classroom. Common projects are class magazines, group wall displays about
students' countries and designs for cities of the future, A project involves students in deciding
together what they want to do to complete a project whilst the teacher plays a more supporting
role.
