2. Summary of Our Project
By students-centered and task-based teaching approach, to solve a brand new problem using what they already know, to appreciate all the hard work of self-learning and think independently, meanwhile, during the researching project, we learned to communicate with people in an interview, not only increased our knowledge, but also mastered the basic skills of information technology. With the quick development of tourism industry, many visitors from out of town come here which stimulate local economic development. And government has allocated a lot of money for creating “Natural galleries”--- Shixiagu. To compare with the difference between present and past, we understand that local economies would also be boosted by tourism development. It stemmed from practice and got continuous enrichment and development in practice.
