The Project Syllabus

• Project syllabi can be seen as a special
  application of the process syllabus, exemplifying
  process and task-based ideas by being
  coll-aborative, avoiding competition, and
  lending themselves to analysis of global goals
  into sub-components which are then delegated to
  sub-groups, who take responsibility for
  completing them.
• Skehan, P. (1998). A Cognitive Approach to
  Language Learning. Oxford Oxford University
  Press, p. 273.

• Project syllabi offer a theme and task-centred
  mode of teaching and learning which results from
  a joint process of negotiation between
  allparticipants. It allows for a wide scope of
  self-determined action for both the individual
  and the small group of learners within a general
  framework of a plan which defines goals and
  procedures. Project learning realises a dynamic
  balance between a process and a product
  orientation.

  Experience in the Language Classroom. Harlow
  Longman, p. 160.
