This book presents a comprehensive overview of the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) through Arends’ Five-Phase Model in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. Combining both theoretical and practical perspectives, it helps educators understand the conceptual foundations of PBL and its relevance to modern instructional demands that emphasize active learner engagement and higher-order thinking skills.
The discussion begins with an in-depth explanation of the theoretical rationale behind Arends’ Five Phases, detailing the mechanisms, objectives, and instructional logic of each phase. The book then connects these theoretical insights to practical application, offering guidance on designing PBL units using backward design to ensure alignment between learning outcomes, assessments, and learning experiences.
In its later chapters, the book outlines concrete strategies, step-by-step implementation procedures, as well as risks and mitigation strategies that teachers may encounter during the PBL process. By integrating theory and practice, this book serves as a valuable reference for educators, researchers, and students seeking to deepen their understanding and application of PBL in EFL contexts, ultimately fostering more dynamic, inquiry-driven, and meaningful learning experiences.
