Abstract

This study explores the challenges experienced by EFL undergraduates during the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in an entrepreneurship course. Employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The subjects were 10 students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and evaluation of supporting documents. Thematic analysis identified three interconnected themes: (1) group coordination challenges, (2) time and operational challenges, and (3) financial challenges. The findings demonstrate that the students experienced challenges in unequal participation, delayed communication, scheduling difficulties, lack of financial resources, and project management responsibilities. But students generally saw barriers as opportunities for learning and personal growth. These challenges taught participants responsibility, adaptability, knowledge of communication, and problem-solving skills. The study indicates the importance of seeing issues as not only hurdles to learning but also as part of the experiential learning process. The results contribute to the growing discussion on PjBL in entrepreneurship education by emphasizing the pedagogical value of challenges encountered during authentic project implementation.
