Alien Lenda Swara, Wiwin Eko Sriwinarti

Abstract


Oral presentations can be effectively implemented as a means to assess students' speaking proficiency within the framework of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in the Indonesian Kurikulum Merdeka for Grade 9 English classes. This study explores the impacts of using oral presentations to evaluate students' speaking skills after they engaged in PjBL activities focusing on developing their language abilities in a practical, authentic manner. The research was conducted with Grade 9 students at SMP Ki Hajar Dewantoro and employed classroom observations and documentation to collect data on student performance and outcomes. The findings revealed significant improvements in various aspects of students' speaking proficiency such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and discourse skills. The PjBL approach also enhanced student engagement and motivation by promoting active participation, collaboration, real-world application of knowledge, and skill development. Overall, the results indicate that incorporating oral presentations within a PjBL context can significantly strengthen students' communicative competence and prepare them for future language demands. The study provides insights for utilizing innovative, interactive teaching methods to foster language learning.
