What are the disadvantages of problem based learning?Disadvantages of problem-based learning
A
Particularly in monolingual classes, the overuse of the students; native language during parts of the lesson can be a problem. Because the lesson isn;t explicitly focused on language practice students find it much easier and quicker to use their mother tongue. Try sharing your rationale with students and explain the benefits of using the target language rather than their mother tongue.
B
Lack of traditional instruction and progression through material. Objective evaluation may be difficult. May be difficult to fail a student. Need more teachers/facilitators-ideally 1 for each 6 students.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
