At various points in our lives, we each find ourselves immersed in
experiences that move us in deeply powerful ways, inspiring intellectual
change, personal transformation, and social action. Join us in exploring
the use of project-based language learning (PBLL) as a framework for
crafting compelling environments and experiences for language learners.
During the 2023 NFLRC Summer Institute
<https://nflrc.hawaii.edu/events/view/2023-si/> held at the University of
Hawai‘i at Mānoa, participants will learn how to orchestrate rich,
experiential language learning opportunities that draw on a diverse array
of disciplines and how to develop a plan to research the effectiveness of
their project design and teaching.

After participating in a short face-to-face, project-based language
learning experience, each participant will design a well-scaffolded project
for use in their own language classes. Join a team of experts with
background in PBLL, language pedagogy, action research, and assessment to
redefine what it means to teach, transform what it is possible for students
to learn, discover, and make real-life impacts in the process!
