Abstract
Although it is warmly debated upon its effectiveness, problem-based learning has been broadly adopted as a teaching approach for a higher education. In EAL teaching, there has been a little attempt to incorporate problem-based learning approach in the curriculum. As of wide ranges of earlier studies show the benefit of problem-based learning for offline learning, this paper aims at discussing the potential contribution of problem-based learning for the online EAL course, and proposes a concept to guide implementation of the online PBL in the classroom to create a meaningfully and experientially active learning for EAL learners. Despite of its weaknesses, this paper shows problem-based learning has the potentials not only help learners develop their language skills, broaden their knowledge, improve their effective problem-solving ability, and boost their effective collaboration skills, but also help them develop their intrinsic motivation leading to lifelong learning.
