In this presentation, participants will gain insights into how L2 learner motivation can be fostered through the use of group work and project-based curricula. The presenters discuss project-based approaches from two contexts - young learner and university - demonstrating how project work is being used to motivate learners to develop their language skills. Participants will see examples of collaborative projects from these contexts and be better able to deliver collaborative projects in their own contexts.
