Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in improving English writing skills among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kejobong. Writing is a fundamental language skill that many junior high school students struggle with due to limited vocabulary, low motivation, and ineffective teaching methods. To address these challenges, a quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent group design. The participants consisted of 67 students, divided into two groups: 34 students in the experimental group, who were taught using Project-Based Learning, and 33 students in the control group, who were taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through writing tests and analyzed using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) formula. The findings indicated that the experimental group achieved a higher mean N-Gain score (0.2285) compared to the control group (0.0021), suggesting that PBL contributed to students' improvement in writing. Although the average gain was categorized as low, the results demonstrated that PBL fosters student engagement, collaboration, and active participation, thereby enhancing their writing performance. This study concludes that Project-Based Learning is an effective method to support the development of students' English writing skills.
