Sažetak
Project-based learning has been widely accepted and implemented by teachers in higher education institutions, but also at secondary educational level, as one of the highly effective teaching and learning methods. This method aims at developing deep content knowledge, high level of communication skills, creativity and critical thinking, responsibility and independence in learning and prepares students to face real-life professional challenges. In teaching and learning languages for specific purposes, PBL provides grounds for integrating language skills development with specific content knowledge, whereby students engage in vocabulary skills development, comprehension development, written and oral communication skills development alongside exploring in depth the specific area of study they have chosen as their professional careers. One of the final elements of project-based learning is the presentation of the project not only before a teacher, but before a team of professionals within the specific area of study. The goal of this paper is to test to what extent this aspect affects student motivation and anxiety levels during project development and presentation. For this purpose, we are conducting PBL with 2nd and 3rd year students of Tourism and Hospitality Management, half of whom have been selected to present before a professional committee and half will present before their teacher only, with the hypothesis that students who have been selected to present before a committee will demonstrate higher levels of motivation/anxiety, than those who have not.
