Indeed, Project based learning is very essential in employing it in every educational institutions because it provides the learners a deeper content area of the knowledge,at the same time,embellish thi 21st century skills in order to extend their competencies not only for themselves but as well as to the community.

Having the students conduct a certain project, succeeding developments about the 21st century skills will follow. Since I'm an English major, i have structured a certain project that will inculcate students promotion of rich knowldege about the English language and the topic is about

ENGLISH LANGUAGE MANIA: Why study English Language? (13-16years old/2nd year-4th year highschool)

Guide questions are raised to help students be on the right track:

Why learn English Language?What will I study?How does English affects our lives?What resources will I have to access?Will I get any practical experience?What skills will I acquire?How will I be assessed?What sorts of jobs will I will get after graduating in highschool and college?

Those aforementioned guidelines will make the students explore the depth meaning of English Language through the use of wide and different resources such as English textbooks, journals, periodicals, articles, and especially the internet. Using the facilities of the school lab, the students are able to produce highly professional pieces of work: for example, many may submit their assignments as electronic documents on CD with hyperlinked sound files rsather than as traditional paper-based essays. From that the ability to be adept in accessing media and informational sites will be enhanced.

The project can be done in collaborative group works in order to experience the use of English in real context. They may either conduct an interview with teachers, play a certain mini show to portray the significance of English in our day to day endeavor. Performances will be scored through the help of rubrics. Here, the ability to join and adapt to individual differences can be further developed. Each members contributions will be of great help.

Many students choose to get some experience in an area where they are hoping to gain employment after they graduate. Some examples of work, shadowing a teacher at a school, working as a reporter on a local newspaper, a host, a librarian, journalist, arts administration, public services, retail and marketing. Self direction is fully emphasized with this kind of opportunity because they are directed to the path they ought to.

Skills that they will learn are fundamental to any future consumption and indeed for everyday life. Everyone needs to use language in order to communicate effectively. Such skills in the 21st century will be acquired:

1. analytical skills - understanding the language uses and attitudes
2. production skills - making their own language use count
3. research skills - learning how to gather data and material
4. social and cultural skills - being aware of language differences
5. e-skills - knowing how to communicate online

Students will be assessed by their coursework, such as essays, presentations or learning journal, portray a particular mini play in groups. At each level of study will be required to undertake a timed assignment or examination.

The summation of the project will be cater to the students by implementing such strategies and techniques in order for them to grasp the content like engaging them first in to a discussion because that could tap the learners' schema about the subject matter. Relating their prior knowledge to it would be meaningful so they will have the reason to attend to it. To be more facilitated, the efficient use of related graphic organizers can project a view of the content. In line with, this will engage the students to participate in the interaction and exchange of subtle ideas.
