Language has been defined as a "purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions, and desires by means of a system of voluntarily produced symbols" It must be noted that language can do this in an indirect way, using silence, facial expressions and gestures.
It would be foolhardy to claim that we have now reached an age of enlightenment and that we now know exactly how to teach English. Being a teacher involves not only teaching at school, but also constant searching for new ideas and good examples to follow.

Project -Based learning
It is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. Closely related to the concept of authentic learning, PBL experiences are often designed to address real-world problems and issues, which requires students to investigate and analyze their complexities, interconnections and ambiguities.
It can better prepare students with life skills that set them up for future success, mainly with collaboration, problem solving,creativity,in-depth understanding,critical thinking,self-confidence,perseverance, project management and curiosity.Studies have shown that the PBL is linked to significant improvements in student test scores, attendance and classroom engagement. It also gives the teachers the opportunity to build stronger relationships with their students by acting as their hands-on learning facilitator.
PBL refers to any programmatic or instructional approach which utilizes multifaceted projects as a central organizing strategy for educating students.
WHY Blended Learning?
Blended learning is a natural development to the growing accessibility of E-learning, online resources and the constant need for a human component in the learning experience. A blended learning approach ensures that the learner is engaged and driving his or her individual learning experience. This approach also helps cater to the individual needs of the learner, most students have unique learning styles and a blended approach is more likely to meet those needs than a traditional classroom teaching experience.
Blended learning is important because it breaks down the traditional walls of teaching, ones that do not work for all students and now with access to present day technologies we can tailor the learning process for each student. Blended learning also offers flexible time frames which can be personalized to each person, offering them the ability to learn at their own pace.
