This course aims at helping teachers develop skills to plan and manage projects in the ELT classroom. 

It is a self-paced course to be taken on your own. 

Each module will first outline the content and learning objectives, then it will develop the content and follow it up with a comprehension check in the form of a quiz. At the end, and in order to optimize the learning, there will be one or two tasks to do hands-on practice. At the end of each module you will also be asked to keep a journal where you write a short reflection on the usefulness of the specific content learnt and possible applications in your teaching and learning context. This journal can be on paper or digital.
