Thisindicates that implementing projects using the framework discussed herein has a large potentialto further expose students to EML effectively. There can be some difficulties in implementingthis framework, namely student resistance to such a different type of project, and increasedworkload on the instructor, particularly the first time it is implemented. These difficulties dodiminish as the framework is used more both at an institution and in a particular course.There are some suggestions that the authors plan to implement in the future and areas requiringadditional research.
