ABSTRACT

The incorporation of project-based learning (PBL) into junior high Chinese language teaching, particularly within the "Activities & Exploration" unit, offers an innovative approach to engage students actively in learning. This article explores the application of project-based learning in the teaching of the "Activities & Exploration" unit in junior high Chinese language curriculum. Through an analysis of project-based learning, the distinctive features of this unit, and the cognitive development characteristics of junior high students, the feasibility of implementing project-based learning in Chinese language teaching is demonstrated. Furthermore, principles to be followed during the implementation of project-based learning are proposed, including the challenge and openness in designing problems, the authenticity and diversity of learning contexts, the autonomy and collaboration in the exploration process, the diversity and demonstrativeness of activity outcomes, and the richness and continuity of assessment feedback. Building upon these principles, teaching strategies such as creating appropriate activity contexts, compiling comprehensive task sheets, and organizing presentation and communication activities are suggested.
