6. An Internet Research Project in an Intensive English Program

Adele asked his students at the Minnesota English Center of the University of Minnesota to do an Investment Project. They used the Internet to research companies they might want to invest in. Then, they formed groups to compile an investment portfolio. At the end, they have to present their projects.

I think this is a great experience and simulation for those business students to practise what they learnt in class. It not only brushed their business knowledge, but they also learnt some authoring skills.

Hi Fiona,

You've put a lot of thought into this! I was wondering whether you would use any of these mehtods yourself, and if so, which ones?
