The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study show that project-based learning significantly improves students' literacy skills in various aspects, including the ability to read and understand texts, creative writing skills, and critical thinking skills. Students show increased motivation and involvement in the learning process, as well as the ability to collaborate and communicate well in groups. In addition, the mastery of grammar and vocabulary has also improved.
