Abstract

ABSTRACTProject-Based Learning (PjBL) has gained popularity as an approach to language teaching over the recent decade. However, previous studies have highlighted that PjBL is often applied in diverse contexts. This study aims to identify the key concepts and stages of PjBL implementation in teaching writing within the context of higher education in Indonesia. The research approach was a case study that utilized observation and interviews. The participant was a lecturer who actively incorporated PjBL into their teaching. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal several stages of PjBL in teaching writing, including posing essential questions, planning and scheduling, outlining, developing the outline into a draft, monitoring progress, presenting the first draft, reviewing and editing, finishing, and publishing, and evaluating and reflecting. Furthermore, the study identifies key concepts of PjBL in teaching writing, such as driving questions, process and product orientation, student ownership, extended project duration, natural integration of skills, dual commitment to language and learning, group work obligation, student responsibility for information gathering, processing, and reporting, assumed new roles and responsibilities for students and teachers, collaboration, and reflection. This study also sheds light on how PjBL can be applicable in teaching writing.ABSTRAKPembelajaran Berbasis Proyek (PjBL) telah menjadi metode pengajaran bahasa yang populer dalam dekade terakhir.
