Abstract
The purpose of this project was to explore the dynamics of project based learning (PBL) methodology and how this approach intersects with situated learning and aspects of adult identity negotiation, an important issue in second language acquisition. Another purpose of this thesis is to assess the effectiveness of PBL for adult learners by reviewing literature related to PBL and presenting data that was collected in the context of a PBL project carried out by adult ESL students.
