Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become an essential component of modern educational practices, emphasizing student-centered instruction and experiential learning. This extended abstract examines the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing learners’ academic performance, motivation, critical thinking, and communicative competence. The findings suggest that PBL not only improves subject knowledge but also fosters essential 21st-century skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and autonomy. However, successful integration of this approach requires careful instructional design and teacher preparedness.
