implementation of the disciplinary-based project in the English course. However,
the students’ opinions have revealed some limitations of the study. The teacher did
not provide the students with good preparation to carry out their presentations and
enough time to help them prepare their project. So, better-planned implementation
procedures in these two aspects are needed.
The study provides two important pedagogical implications. First, it is reasonable
to include such a disciplinary-based project in an English class especially in
EFL contexts where opportunities to use English are limited. Second, since PBL
can encourage learners to use language skills learned from the English class and
support learners’ confidence in using English, using the project as part of the grading
system seems reasonable. However, this study is an exploratory investigation about
enhancement of learners’ language skills through PBL. Generalizability of the
study is thus limited. Future studies may focus on using a variety of project-based
activities in the classroom and using other measures to examine learners’ language
skills enhancement.
