Keywords:
Teacher facilitation, project-based learning, speaking instruction, scaffolding, professional developmentAbstract
Project-based learning (PBL) is recognized as an effective approach for developing speaking skills, yet its success largely depends on the teacher's facilitation competence. This article examines the strategies and challenges of facilitating PBL speaking activities in secondary school EFL classrooms. Research findings indicate that effective facilitation encompasses scaffolding, managing collaboration, providing formative feedback, and balancing learner autonomy with guidance. The professional development needs of teachers transitioning to PBL are also discussed.
