The EFL Students' Attitudes Towards Using Project-Based Learning Strategy in Developing their Writing Skill at the English Department – Faculty of Education - Sana'a University

Abstract

This study aims to explore EFL students’ attitudes towards Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching method to develop writing skills. To achieve this goal, a study sample of 40 second-level EFL students at the Faculty of Education at Sana'a University were randomly selected after taking PBL writing classes for an entire semester. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed to analyze the data that were collected using a close-ended questionnaire. The responses were analyzed via the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), utilizing such descriptive statistics as means, standard deviation, and relative weight of interpretation. The findings revealed that students held highly positive attitudes towards the use of project-based learning as a method for developing writing skills. The study recommends further investigation into the effectiveness of this learning style in improving EFL students’ other language skills as well as across various colleges.
