Episode description

When a girl from Cuba arrived in Lua's PBL class, she had zero English. 

But within two months, because of a hands-on project, she was able to deliver full presentations in her second language.

In this episode, I sit down with Lua Yaganagi and her adorable students, in a mixed-age primary PBL classroom in Rizhao, China to hear how projects ranging from building a class garden, to designing Olympic Games helped students:

  • Acquire reading, writing and listening ESL skills. 
  • Grow in confidence. 
  • Co-teach their younger peers.
  • Discover their personal passions. 
  • Improve their English speaking vocabulary.
