The purpose of this study was to explore how to integrate project-based learning into an elective undergraduate-level course, Literature and Affective Education. Action research was adopted to develop a two-stage hands-on course. By involving college students in literature reading and literature teaching, this course aimed to deepen their thoughts on life’s big questions and to improve their learning engagement too. First, the course teacher led college students to inquire big questions through literature reading, discussion and reflective writing, then, the teacher assigned these college students to develop literature reading syllabus and teach high school students. The course participants included 53 college students and 30 high school students. The results showed that literary reading and reflective writing deepen college students’ understanding about the big questions in life, and enable students to further develop and modify their thoughts on this. In addition, through the hands-on experience of literature teaching, undergraduates rebooted their learning motivation and facilitated them to make more concrete plans for future learning. Based on the study’s findings and our reflections, we provide suggestions for future courses on reading literacy. |
