When a girl from Cuba arrived in Lua's PBL class, she had zero English.  But within two months, because of a hands-on project, she was able to deliver full presentations in her second language. In this episode, I sit down with Lua Yaganagi and her adorable students, in a mixed-age primary PBL classroom in Rizhao, China to hear how projects ranging from building a class garden, to designing Olympic Games helped students: Acquire reading, writing and listening ESL skills.  Grow in confidence.  Co-teach their younger peers. Discover their personal passions.  Improve their English speaking vocabulary.
