Description
This study focuses on organizing experiential activities through project-based learning (PBL) as innovative pedagogical strategies to create a practical English-speaking environment, thereby improving the quality of English language teaching in upper secondary schools. Instead of confining learning to textbooks, this approach provides students with opportunities to engage with the language through meaningful, real-world projects that encourage active participation, creativity, and collaboration.
Through structured projects such as project presentations, English-speaking clubs, field trips, and community engagement learners are motivated to use English in meaningful ways. These activities not only enhance their language proficiency but also develop essential soft skills including collaboration, problem-solving, and self-expression.
By building a practical English-using environment, this approach gets students motivated , more actively engaged and confident in their daily delivery of English. It aligns closely with the goals of educational reform and competency-based teaching. The approach is of great help to the enhancement of language proficiency and students’ full potential, particularly in disadvantaged areas.
