Project-based learning to develop the speaking skill in EFL students of intermediate level at Technical Air Force School during the school year 2020-2021.

The research project focused on “PROJECT-BASED LEARNING TO DEVELOP THE SPEAKING SKILL IN EFL STUDENTS OF INTERMEDIATE LEVEL AT TECHNICAL AIR FORCE SCHOOL DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021” represents an innovative methodology to develop students’ superior utterances. The main objective was to determine the effectiveness of Project-based learning (PBL) for improving speaking skills. This research is focused on a qualitative approach for measuring the theoretical results as well as a quantitative approach to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of the results through numbers, percentages, and figures. The type of research applied was quasi-experimental, since, during the exploration, it was possible to work with two groups, a control group and an experimental group of 25 students in each one. A pre-test and a post-test were carried out where the experimental group got better results in comparison with the control group. The only difference was that the experimental group was instructed with Project-based learning methodology while the control group was instructed with the traditional methodology. Consequently, the data collection allowed to demonstrate and support the hypothesis about how effective is project-based learning to develop the speaking skill.
