ABSTRACT

Project-based learning (PBL), grounded in constructivist learning theory, is a teaching model well-suited to the characteristics of higher vocational students and embodies the essence of vocational education. Implementing PBL in vocational business English writing courses can engage students' interest in writing and enhance their writing proficiency. However, applying this approach requires a shift in teaching philosophy and faces certain constraints, posing new challenges for both teachers and students.
