Peace Project was a crafted answer to the new needs of an Oral English classroom. It combines a number of teaching methods and goals, such as sustainability and problem-based learning. Learners, at first, found Peace Project overwhelming but, by the semester’s end, found the course stimulating, engaging, and the right amount of challenging. It allows learners to take control of their own learning by choosing topics, jobs within their groups, how they will prepare for each class, and what they help produce in class each week. Peace Project could be graded up or down depending on learner and classroom needs.
