'Dear Brown Eyes': experiential learning in a project-oriented approach

by Graham Carter and Howard Thomas

This is an account of how a group of students on an English course at the Bell School, Bath became teachers for a short while in local juniorschools. It describes how the project came about, how the students were prepared for their task, and what the outcome was.
