<![CDATA[This study investigated the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at Pondok Pesantren PKPPS Wustha Hidayatul Qomariyah Bengkulu City during the 2024/2025 academic year. A true-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed to compare the effectiveness of PBL against traditional teaching methods. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group receiving PBL instruction and the control group receiving traditional instruction. Speaking skills were assessed using pre-tests and post-tests. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and two-way ANOVA. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the speaking skills of students who received PBL instruction compared to those who received traditional instruction. This finding suggests that PBL is an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing speaking ability in this context.]]>
