Effectiveness of Bilingual Project-Based Materials to Facilitate Literacy and Numeracy Teaching

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how well bilingual project-based learning resources may improve the literacy and numeracy abilities of primary school students. Numerous researches conducted at many levels presented the effectiveness of the project-based approach. Yet, few of them address the potential benefits of incorporating it into the curriculum, focusing on both language proficiency and mathematical competence. This experimental study utilized a nonrandomized control group design involving two classes of 6-8-year-old students. A two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the data from 39 students that were gathered through exams and paperwork. The results demonstrated that using bilingual project-based learning resources can be an alternate strategy for improving primary school students' literacy and numeracy skills.
