According to the "College Adult Education basic requirements"(BasicRequirements)， Adult college English teaching must satisfy the trainingobjectives and requirements to graduates major in English."BasicRequirements" have clearly stated the objective of improving students’comprehensive behavior abilities. So college adult English teaching mustaim to improve students’ professional ability as well as othercapabilities， such as teamwork， time management， investigation，technical operation， information acquisition， emergency solving， majorknowledge and so on. However， our college adult graduates’ comprehensivebehavior abilities are not well trained enough to adapt to the recentsociety and the economic development tendency， which cannot meet thesocial requirements for comprehensive talents. Emphasizing comprehensivecollege adult English teaching has thus become urgent. In this respect，the traditional ways of teaching Integrated English must be reformed.Hereby the author has come up with the idea that teachers try to improvestudents’ comprehensive behavior abilities by PBL.PBL tries to helplearners to gain practical experience during the process of carryingprojects. PBL requires students to finish tasks using their learnedlanguage， which focus on social intercourse and linguistic function. Onthe other hand， PBL requires students to give full play to communicate，understand， cooperate， learn and work. In practice， the author foundthat students have so many confusion when taking PBL and this confusionhave weakened the effect of PBL on training students’ comprehensivebehavior abilities. By interviewing and observing16students， the authorhas got their confusion. By encoding and classifying this confusion， whichbelongs to quality research method， the author has reached two categories，insufficient comprehensive behavior abilities of students and the insufficient project management strategies of teachers. Accordingly， theauthor has created12aspects of management strategies， which aremaintaining team harmony， selecting team leaders， managing time，operating technology， investigating， information acquisitioning，getting major knowledge， evaluating， encouraging， naming projectsubject， self-managing. It is proved in the second PBL that using thesestrategies is one of an important access to help students solve the previousconfusion.
