Program description

Project-based Presentations (PbP) focuses on developing students' speaking and presentation skills through a "project-based" approach. This means that the English content taught (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) is chosen based on the project the participants are working on. Different parts/phases of the project will require participants to use English in different ways, making this a practical, applied approach to developing speaking skills for a variety of situations.

Participants receive a "Certificate of Completion" and a "Record of Grade."
