Our publication

 

Guide to Problem-Based Learning has been written by a group of ESP teachers from Slovenia, members of the Association, who have implemented Problem-Based  Learning (PBL) as a new model of teaching.

 

The method successfully combines professional knowledge with the knowledge of foreign languages. Characterised by student-centred and learning-centred interdisciplinary approach it enhances the development of linguistic, practical and cognitive skills as well as extralinguistic knowledge.

 

The guide is ideal for teachers in preparation, LSP teachers and subject specialists. It enables users to plan their PBL activities, provides guidelines and gives practical advice. It will serve as a useful tool to any LSP teacher who is willing to introduce new challenging methods into the teaching environment or who is in need of a tool that can be used to review, support or structure what is already being done.
