Abstract
This paper reports on the design and implementation of project-based university Freshman English task-based syllabi by the author in Korea and describes further research, modifications and evaluations that have taken place since implementation of the original syllabus. The aim is not to justify the task-based and project-based approaches, but to report on the efficacy of these particular syllabi and the associated programs as perceived by teachers, students and other researchers. Having described some situations in which the syllabi have been incorporated, the paper concludes that a democratically-oriented project-based approach to foreign language learning offers a means of developing positive affect, autonomy, critical thinking, organization, and language skills in the context of the learners’ major studies, as well as social skills acquired through collaboration and is therefore a pedagogically sound option for language teachers who wish to address contemporary challenges of smart technology and the Academic-English needs of their students. It is further argued that projects offer a strategy for language teaching through which traditional ethics can be combined with modern learning theory.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
