Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study English learning using nature-based learning methods to increase students' motivation in learning. In the minds of some students there is still a paradigm that assumes that success in learning English is due to talent. This assumption encourages students to be lazy to learn English. They tend to be more desperate and give up when they encounter difficulties in learning. However, learning English can be done anywhere and anytime using any method. The goal is that students can be motivated to develop learning that is more interesting and has a positive impact. The learning environment makes students broader in thinking and expression. The benefits of environment-based media allow students to better understand natural phenomena that occur in everyday life. Utilization of the environment makes the learning process more meaningful with the outdoor model. Students can explore the natural environment and learn practical skills to understand and appreciate aspects of environmental life. Learning activities will be more interesting for students. In addition, the use of the environment encourages an increase in student learning activities using nature-based learning methods

Abstract

As the demand for 21st-century communication skills grows, English language education must evolve beyond grammar and vocabulary to include digital literacy and collaborative competencies. This study explores the distinctive use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a first-semester Basic English course for Communication Science students at a private university in Indonesia. The research examines how PBL enhances student engagement, builds speaking confidence, and fosters real-world language use through digital tools, providing a context-specific approach to foundational English education. A qualitative case study design involving 105 students was employed over a 14-week academic period. Data were gathered through student reflections, structured questionnaires, and multimedia project evaluations, and were analyzed thematically to capture students’ learning experiences and performance outcomes. Findings show that PBL significantly boosted speaking confidence, particularly through tasks such as video production and group projects. These tasks were the most effective in improving language skills and student engagement, distinguishing this study from traditional language instruction. However, challenges such as time management, group accountability, and technical difficulties were noted, particularly among students with limited digital literacy. Positive group dynamics and instructor support were critical in overcoming these obstacles. This study offers insights into the intersection of PBL, digital literacy, and language learning, especially for low-level learners in Communication Science. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive, student-centered learning environments that meet the evolving demands of 21st-century communication.
