ABSTRACT Given that individual learning agendas determine what is 'learnt' in the language classroom, it is generally recognized that students need to be fully involved in what happens there. Project-work satisfies this need, involving the learners at every level of the educational process as they pass through project design, decision-making, implementation, preparation, rehearsal, performance and reflection. If carried out in the target language, this has obvious advantages in terms of authenticity and meaning, but project-work can also be beneficial in encouraging learners to address their learning needs, to assess themselves, and to become self-directed. In Part 1 of this presentation, the speakers (Andrew Finch and Kevin Sampson) will talk about projects in the Korean situation and will offer an approach which helps students (and teachers) to approach what might seem a daunting task. In Part 2, they will hold a workshop to demonstrate these ideas. PRESENTER
