¡Bienvenidos a nuestro blog de tips de inglés!

At DiClassroom, we believe language learning should be active, fun, and meaningful—for students and for teachers. That’s why we’re not only sharing tips for learners, but also practical ideas to support ESL teachers in making their lessons more dynamic and student-centered.

One powerful way to increase engagement is through project-based learning. Projects give students the opportunity to use English in authentic, creative ways—while building collaboration skills, confidence, and ownership of their learning.

Here are 6 student project ideas you can easily adapt for your classroom:

1. Student Vlogs

Give your students a voice by having them record short weekly vlogs in English. These can be about their daily routines, favorite hobbies, opinions, or even school life. Vlogs are great for practicing speaking fluency and building confidence in front of an audience (even if it’s just their classmates!).

Bonus Tip: Use Flip or Padlet for easy video sharing.

2. Class Podcast

Turn your classroom into a mini studio! Students can script and record podcast episodes on different topics: interviews with classmates, school news, book or movie reviews, or even role-played conversations.

Why it works: Podcasts help improve listening, speaking, and writing skills—and students love hearing themselves “on air”!

3. My Dream City Poster

This is a fantastic blend of art, vocabulary, and presentation skills. Ask students to design their own city: name it, create a map, label places (like parks, schools, or restaurants), and present it to the class using descriptive language.

Focus areas: Places in a city, directions, and adjectives.

4. English Pen Pals

Connect your class with other ESL students around the world. Whether through email, letters, or recorded messages, pen pal exchanges create authentic communication and cultural exchange.

Start small: Try connecting with another school via Instagram, Facebook groups, or Reddit’s r/penpals.

5. How-To Video Series

Have students create simple “How-To” videos in English. Topics could be anything from “How to make a sandwich” to “How to draw an anime character.” This is a fun way to teach sequencing, imperatives, and presentation skills.

Tools: Record with smartphones or tablets, edit with simple apps like CapCut or Canva Video.

6. Short Film Project

Let your students become writers, directors, and actors. In groups, they can write a short script, rehearse, and film a mini movie. It’s creative, collaborative, and a fantastic way to reinforce storytelling, dialogue, and pronunciation.

Extension: Host a mini “film festival” day in class to screen their work!

Final Thoughts

Project-based learning brings energy and purpose into the ESL classroom. These projects not only help students use English in real-life contexts—they also boost motivation, teamwork, and creativity.
