Project Based Learning and ESL students

Since I was introduced to the Project Based Approach I got to the conclusion that if regular teachers apply it correctly, the dream of a more inclusive education will become truth. On the article Project Problem and Inquiry Based Learning by Nelly Deutsch, She describes and provides good citations over this methodology. I read it and made me reflect on how much this type of teaching can be beneficial for my ESL students.
I could clearly see how the usage of this methodology can help the ESL students to fully be integrated in a regular classroom. Project based learning uses technology to help any student to use their higher order thinking skills and to solve daily situations with the help of technology.
The use of technology facilities the full integration of the ESL student because it helps them to develop vocabulary and practice it at the time they learn it.
