M Bagas Tri Adi Yuda, Yanuar Dwi Prastyo

Abstract


This study aimed to investigate the impact of project-based learning on students' speaking abilities among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung. Employing a quantitative research approach with a two-group experimental design, the study conducted a series of five therapy sessions for the experimental group, while the control group received no treatment. Pre-test assessments were conducted to gauge students' skills prior to intervention. Data collection instruments were utilized for both pre-test and post-test evaluations. Following the administration of post-tests, data analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking skills in the experimental class, with average scores rising from 61.48 to 68.26. In comparison, the control group exhibited an increase from an average pre-test score of 55.19 to 61.81 after intervention. Statistical analysis, with a t-value of 7.902 and a significance level of .000 (p < 0.05), indicated a distinct difference between the two groups, affirming the effectiveness of project-based learning.
