At the language centre, we constantly used the Engagement theory,(didn't know then that there was a theory that supported that way of learning and teaching)and the students actively engaged in research, collecting data, doing surveys on different topics of interest such as fashion, food,environment and lifestyles. Students chose topics they could relate to, created an action plan and donated it to the public through publishing in the school newsletter and putting up posters on recycling for example. The picture shows a photo of the students with the final product: a hat,in which they had to think of their own design and create it in two hours.For someone learning English as a second language, this could be a great challenge but in a fun-filled environment they learned a lot as they interacted with teachers and other students.
