When I worked with young people, I would disguise language learning in another activity. I taught one lad weight training. This enabled us to naturally talk about schedules, routines, kilos/pounds, and it opened up a long conversation psychology, biology, ambitions and goals. Another trick was to create a newsletter that people had a role in. Some would write, others edit, and others design. The conversations that link all those skill are as important as that of the writers writing.
Project based learning activities gives the learner and the teacher an interactive touch. For example, I teach students how to construct and write more effective emails and business letter. I use examples and templates to help them write on their own from scratch and thereafter I help and develop their work. In this way I have included project-based activities to help while including business concepts.

Best answer
It depends on the level but I always recommend FRIENDS sitcom to improve their speaking and listening
