Abstract

This study aimed to describe the application of project-based learning in the speaking class of second-year English language education students, at the State University of Makassar. This study used an exploratory qualitative method. The data of this research were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The subjects of this study were an English lecturer who teaches in the second-year and the second-year English language education students that consisted of two classes. The result of data analysis found that (1) the application of project-based learning in second-year English language education students has been implemented very well by the lecturer and the students (2) the application of project-based learning in speaking classes for the second-year produces research projects that are presented at the end of the semester using posters (3) constraints encountered in applying project-based learning in speaking classes are students are not used to working in teamwork to work on projects with research output, students have difficulty compiling research instruments, students have difficulty finding respondents, and there are still students who are not actively involved in class (4) the student’s speaking skills and students’ learning motivation have increased after the application of the project-based learning method in the extensive speaking class.

Abstract

Recent studies show that agentic engagement in Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is still not widely understood, particularly in collectivist settings like Indonesia. Much of the existing research has focused on measuring agency or linking it to other factors, but less attention has been given to how agency actually develops and unfolds in everyday classroom interactions. This study seeks to address that gap by examining how students engage in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) class at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 1 Soppeng, South Sulawesi. Through interviews with 15 students and one teacher, several challenges emerged: language barriers, fear of making mistakes, and limited classroom time often hinder students’ ability to take initiative. The findings also highlight the importance of teacher responses, which can either encourage or discourage students from actively participating. To strengthen agentic engagement, the study suggests adopting creative teaching strategies, building supportive teacher-student relationships, and connecting lessons to students’ real-life goals. These insights not only deepen our understanding of agency in collectivist cultures but also emphasize the need for more research in secondary schools. Ultimately, the study calls for continued exploration to better support student autonomy and empower learners in their educational journey.
