| Sumario: | [EN] This paper calls for language teacher education on project-based learning and teaching (PBLT) to respond to the changing needs of 21st-century language teachers and students. It discusses the rationale by introducing PBLT research and practice with global examples. Sample research findings on the benefits of PBLT are also discussed to illustrate how PBLT can address the more complex challenges of real-world needs. The paper also examines emerging teacher training efforts and presents arguments for scaling up these efforts with a systemic and robust education of teachers on PBLT. Such education should include the philosophical and theoretical foundations, principles, and procedures to better design and adequately implement PBLT, along with an array of curriculum content and professional standards, project modules, and digital tools such as AI, metacognitive strategies, and associated language form-function interface. |
