A REVISITATION OF TEACHING AND EVALUATING ESP THROUGH PROJECT WORK AT THE FACULTY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the second stage of a study focused on the use of project work as an ESP teaching tool at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Babeş-Bolyai University. The first stage of the study was conducted in the academic year 2015-2016 and its findings were published in 2016. It had the following objectives: to verify the relevance of project work to students’ academic and occupational domain of interest, to identify the instructional benefits of completing projects and to collect suggestions for improving project work. The feedback provided by the students showed improvements in various areas as a result of project work. They also offered precious suggestions for the improvement of project work. While it relies on the results produced by the first stage of the investigation, the present paper aims at revealing new aspects of the effectiveness of project work by comparing the feedback provided by the students in the academic year 2015-2016 with the feedback offered by a second batch of students one year later. The analysis of the feedback tries to identify similarities between the learning achievements reported in the two academic years, but also to measure the degree of satisfaction reported by the second batch of students with the implementation of the improvements suggested by the first batch.
