Project

Overview

Project is rather a unique aspect of IGSE research that aims an actual application of students’ ideas of English teaching and learning to a particular situation or group. It comes in two major formats: materials development and curriculum development. 

Types

▶ Materials development

Through materials development, students produce a set of sample chapters based on a solid theoretical background, systematic analysis of target learners’ needs and existing materials. Examples of materials include English language teaching/learning books, e-learning materials, and apps.

☆    Examples

- Developing a secondary school teachers’ resource book for classroom activities using young adult literature 

- Developing Materials for English Reading Response Journal
- Developing Task-based English Speaking Materials for Korean Kindergartners Based on Nuri Curriculum

▶ Curriculum development

Curriculum refers to an English language teaching course. To develop the language curriculum, students set up similar framework with the one in the materials development, yet provide sample lessons.

☆    Examples

- Business English Writing Curriculum: A Genre-based Approach
- An English Writing Curriculum for Career Exploration for Korean Middle School Students
- The Development of a Phonemic Awareness Curriculum for the Korean Elementary School English Class
