Keywords:
project-based learning, writing skills, EFL, learner motivation, collaborative learning, pedagogy.Abstract
This article investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a pedagogical approach to enhance students’ writing skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. The study aims to determine how PBL influences learners’ writing fluency, creativity, and motivation compared to traditional teacher-centered methods. Data were collected through classroom observations, writing assessments, and student reflections. The findings indicate that PBL promotes active learning, collaboration, and authentic writing experiences, resulting in significant improvement in both linguistic accuracy and content organization.
