Abstract

English speaking proficiency is a critical skill in both academic and professional contexts, especially for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Traditional language instruction, which often emphasizes grammar and writing, frequently fails to develop learners’ speaking fluency and confidence. This study investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing English-speaking skills among first-semester Informatics students at the tertiary level. Grounded in constructivist and communicative language teaching theories, PBL emphasizes real-world communication, collaboration, and learner autonomy. Using a descriptive method, students participated in a one-month instructional project that culminated in video presentations, assessed across five key speaking indicators: comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. After a one-month PBL intervention, it was shown that 20% of students reached the highest proficiency level (score 85-90), then 55% performed at an average level (score 75-80), and 25% remained at a lower proficiency level (score 60-70). 100% of students showed improvement: high and average performers improved by 15 points on average, and low performers improved by 10 points. Results showed significant improvement across all proficiency levels, particularly among high- and average-performing students. The findings indicate that PBL effectively improves learners’ speaking abilities by promoting engagement, authentic language use, and confidence. However, lower-performing students may require additional scaffolding and support. This study supports the integration of PBL into EFL curricula to promote more interactive and meaningful language learning experiences.

THE ALM (AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD) FOR ENHANCING SPEAKING SKILL OF EFL STUDENTS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT Putri Ramadhani pramadhaniput@gmail.com Fakultas Ilmu Komputer dan Teknologi Informasi, Universitas Budi Darma Medan Abstract Investigating the efficacy of the audio-lingual approach taught in the classroom by an English lecturer to second-semester information technology students who are learning English as a foreign language (EFL) is the significance of this study. ESP (English for Specific Purpose) is taught to EFL students with an emphasis on computers and technology. The teaching approach known as the audio-lingual method (ALM) is founded on psychological behaviorism and structural linguistics. Enabling students to speak the target language like native speakers is the aim of this approach. This approach can help EFL students develop language habits through drilling and mimicry. It can be difficult to teach speaking to EFL students in Indonesia because of the influence of mother tongues and traditional languages. Prior studies indicate this method is able to improve speaking skill ability. The result of this research shows speaking skill of EFL students gradually improve week by week by doing observation with pre-test and post-tet during four weeks Keywords: Audio-Lingual Method, EFL students, Speaking Skill
