This development research aims to design an effective grammar learning module, with the hope to (1) facilitate students' understanding of grammatical concepts, (2) enhance student's writing skills with an emphasis on grammatical aspects, (3) assess the suitability of the learning module with the writing learning needs at the junior high school level, and (4) obtain feedback from educators and students regarding the implementation of the module in schools in Bekasi City. This research adopts the Research and Development (R&D) model following the 4-D model stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. Data collection was conducted through interviews and questionnaires. Experts in content, media, and language performed module validation. The research results indicate that the implementation of the grammar learning module can have a positive impact on improving students' writing skills, as reflected in the increased writing test scores.

Abstract

This study examines how Project-Based Learning (PBL) improves speaking skills in Paket C students at PKBM Kota Bekasi, an Indonesian non-formal education institution. This research aims to design and deploy customised PBL materials for these children and evaluate their effectiveness in boosting student involvement, communication, and speaking proficiency. To assess PBL's impact, the study uses mixed methods, including qualitative and quantitative methods. Fluency, coherence, and pronunciation improvements are assessed pre- and post-intervention to acquire quantitative data. Student interviews, classroom observations, and professional evaluations provide qualitative insights into student involvement and motivation. PBL greatly improves pupils' speaking fluency, coherence, and pronunciation. Students are more motivated and engaged in learning than using traditional approaches. PBL's interactive and collaborative character creates a dynamic learning environment that fosters active engagement and language skill application. However, the report also finds significant PBL implementation problems. These include restricted technology resources, which affects project delivery and execution, and the necessity for educators to change their teaching practices to enable PBL. Positive results imply that PBL may be an effective pedagogical technique for resolving educational gaps in non-formal settings, despite these challenges. The research shows educators and policymakers that PBL can improve non-formal education learning. Future study should design cost-effective PBL models that handle resource constraints and examine PBL's long-term effects on students' academic and professional growth.
