Jose Ayala and Yulieth Quintana Professor: Maritza Housset Seminary 2012 POSITION PAPER

The purpose of this position paper is to show the importance of the project based learning, task based learning and context based instruction. Learning the English language is relatively essential, for it is important to consider the teacher's instructions to the student, so that the student has a good learning. The teacher should focus on a great motivation for listening, reading, speaking and writing. when the teacher has some purpose to their students is important that the teacher is supported in a communication tasks and get a goal to achieve a good result for this should be well to instruct students for this purpose is achieved. based tasks are problem solving, for example analysis of real situations, to give solution to this will have its due process which will develop step by step, using research to solve the problem. The project based learning is a teaching method based on the student in their own learning which is important to develop all the skills you want. In this method, learning student knowledge is equally important that the acquisition of skills and attitudes. It is important to understand that is based on methodology and not an instructional strategy. The method consists in carrying out a project. This project has been analyzed and get good source of information for the teacher to ensure that the student has what it takes to solve it and a good result obtained supporting its development step by step solution of the problem and its resolution will develop all the skills you want, just as the student will enrich their knowledge and acquisition of language. To achieve this goal is very important to note that the teacher must give an instruction which is based on content; students explore the content for the solution of the project. Content which were used for the project should be

instructed via audio-oral grammar and vocabulary of the methodology in the form of dialogue. After the task, students should prepare either an oral or written, during the teacher's stage monitor step by step tasks that students develop through this process. Based in learning tasks is very advantageous in that it focused only on the student, communication is more significant, and offers very good manufacture of extra-linguistic skills, also enriching their vocabulary tasks. The teacher should have good knowledge about the note project being carried out, must also use a methodology which students can learn and practice the methods of the grammar-translation and audio-oral vocabulary and the vocabulary of methodology. there are many benefits which are obtained when the instruction is based on contained, it is important to motivate students and that students are exposed to a vocabulary, keep students motivated and interested are important factors when students are motivated in their knowledge and learning project will be successful in working with educational materials, this will also allow the student to obtain complex skills. When the student is more motivated the student achieves .this will lead to success in preparing the project and interest, students participate actively in the learning process.

Good teaching of English during the project and development is an excellent way for students to advance in the foreign language, also develop skills for acquiring excellent increases competition affectively success necessary in various learners and

professions. Students are

foundation for English language and more control of the English language, which allows students to keep a better learning in class participation in an enriching environment each teacher should also be ideas and opinions and learn new time more complex academic and knowledge and to good social. The noted that the students interact and solve that meanings. Is exchange problems the task-

to enrich their

words and

based instruction and real life experiences. It is especially important that the teacher monitors the students' learning. For the other hand, Project based is the use of in-depth and rigorous classroom projects to facilitate learning and assess student competence. Project Based Learning was promoted 1990, it is an instructional method that provides students with complex tasks based on challenging questions or problems that involve the students' problem solving, decision making, investigative skills, and reflection that includes teacher facilitation, but not direction. Project based learning is focused on questions that drive students to encounter the central concepts and principles of a subject hands-on. Students form their own investigation of a guiding question, allowing students to develop valuable research skills as students engage in design, problem solving, decision making, and investigative activities. Through Project-based learning, students learn from these experiences and take them into account and apply them to the world outside their classroom. This is a different teaching technique that promotes and practices new learning habits, emphasizing creative thinking skills by allowing students to find that there are many ways to solve a problem. Project based makes important classes for students due to they can learn new things that are never taught in classroom. However we as teachers have to take into account the students level. After having realized the level the vocabulary is pretty meaningful here. Learners can learn managing an extent vocabulary, besides students can use the English language almost in a nature way, not only in an academy form.
