STUDENTS' EXPERIENCES IN IMPLEMENTING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TASKS

The purpose of this study is to analyze the experience of students in the implementation of project-based learning. Students, who are studying for EFL in higher education programs at the National University of Uzbekistan, have been assigned projects to help them improve their speaking and listening skills. The research aims to describe students’ perception of project-based learning and try to understand what students’ overall conclusions are about project-based learning. Feedback forms were distributed to a group of students who completed the assigned projects on EFL. This research data shows from the start majority of students grasped the tasks with motivation and interest and were keen on demonstrating their skills. Although the criteria and project tasks were clear, some students admitted teachers’ additional support was critically effective in implementing the projects. The students’ feedback forms also refer to the conclusion that project-based learning helped students to reveal the areas and skills they need to improve
