The Application of Project-Based Learning in the Teaching of Whole-Book Reading in Middle School Chinese Language Education

Abstract

To address issues such as fragmented reading instruction in middle schools, insufficient student agency, and challenges in translating literacy competencies into practical application, this study aims to enhance students’ reading abilities. Employing project-based learning approaches and methods including literature review and case analysis, the study fi rst evaluates the suitability of project-based learning for whole-book reading instruction in junior high schools. Subsequently, it conducts in-depth research focusing on designing progressive reading tasks, facilitating interdisciplinary inquiry, and crafting well-structured driving questions.
