Abstract
This study aimed to 1) investigate the effect of project-based learning on students’ English speaking ability, and 2) study students’ satisfaction towards project-based learning. The samples of this study were 40 matthayomsuksa 3 students at Chiangkhong Wittayakhom School, Chiangkhong district, Chaing Rai province, selected by using purposive sampling. The research instruments included two lesson plans, an English-speaking test, the project pre-test and post-test, the satisfaction questionnaire, and a learning log. The statistics used to analyze the collected data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The findings showed that project-based learning could improve students’ speaking ability. The mean score of the post-test (M = 21.26, S.D. = 1.99) was higher than the mean score of the pretest (M = 14.06, S.D. = 1.86) with the statistical significance level of 0.01 (p<0.01). Additionally, the students’ satisfaction toward project-based learning overall was at a high level.
