Abstract

Project-based learning, a constructivist teaching method, is gaining in popularity in language classrooms. This paper explores the influence of project-based learning on the deep approach of learning among language learners. Through an empirical study combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, it is revealed that project-based learning has a positive effect on the deep motivation and deep strategy of language learners, and thus contribute to improved deep approach of learning.
