Online Project-Based Teaching’s Benefits to Young Learners and Their Families #1127

How young learners engage in both online and in-person classes in a small private language school can be worth seeing in this session and will show audiences students' resilience through the project. This presenter provided projects-based teaching in Zoom to make the students happy in language learning in April and May in 2020. Especially, a “ninja project” invited students to support their families with actions. As a result of this, all students were motivated to do presentations on Flipgrid and Padlet to complete the project. The students, aged from 6-12, have been learning English in person and online since last June and have improved their communicative competence in this school. This presentation shows the objectives, students' work, comments, and parents’ comments. In addition, the result of formative assessment is included in order to prove how the project-based teaching helped the students and their families.
