Improving Speaking Confidence through Project-Based Learning in Indonesian Junior High Schools

2025-12-24T10:21:09+07:00

This research aims to assess how well Project-Based Learning (PBL) enhances the self-assurance of Indonesian junior high school students in their spoken English abilities. For Indonesian students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), speaking continues to be a difficult skill to master, frequently hampered by nervousness, a small range of words, and a worry about being wrong. This research used PBL as a teaching strategy to solve these problems by encouraging energetic involvement, teamwork, and actual language usage. The research used a quasi-experimental setup with two separate classes: one experimental class using PBL and one control class using standard teaching techniques. Information was gathered through speaking tests before and after, observations in the classroom, and surveys filled out by students. The results showed that, in comparison to the control group, the PBL group's students showed a marked increase in their confidence, fluency, and desire to speak. Furthermore, the data collected revealed that students were more driven and interested when working on projects that simulated real-world situations, like group talks and video reports. According to the results, PBL improves students' language skills and encourages independence, cooperation, and a positive attitude toward learning. As a result, including PBL in English speaking lessons can be helpful in building students' self-esteem and ability to communicate effectively in the Indonesian EFL setting.

The Application of Multimedia Autoplay-Based Communication Media in Science Learning at SMAN 3 Penajam Paser Utara (supervised by Andi Vita Sukmarini and Yusmanizar) Audiovisual multimedia autoplay-based instructional media is one form of technological advancement in learning. In its use, teachers can present text, images or videos, graphics, maps, and other materials not available in textbooks in an engaging format to attract students' attention to the learning process. This study is qualitative research employing a phenomenological approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The researcher used a flow model analysis which involves several stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, based on empirical information from SMAN 3 Penajam Paser Utara. The results of the study show that the implementation of multimedia autoplay-based communication media in science learning at SMAN 3 Penajam Paser Utara was carried out in three stages: design (developing multimedia autoplay-based teaching media), implementation (classroom teaching and learning activities), and evaluation (receiving feedback from students). The challenges encountered in using this media include a lack of understanding and skills in creating learning materials, the difficulty of accessing free applications to support media development, and technical obstacles such as electricity and internet connectivity.
