LEARNING USING PROJECT BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE THE LISTENING SKILLS OF STIAB SMARTUNGGA STUDENTS: CASE STUDY

Abstract

Project-based learning is the learning model involving students more active in teaching and learning. It also has the role for students to develop the knowledge and skill with the projects in group or individual. An alternate approach to teaching that places more emphasis on the learning process of the students than the instructional component of the lesson is the project method. It focuses on having faith in the kids and not trying to force a particular learning style on them. The reason why this model applied at STIAB Smaratungga: students do not have confident and motivation, the students are not active and the class is lecturers’ centred. Almost all kids have trouble understanding what is being stated when someone speaks. 2) Pronunciation of the English language is too quick and confusing. 3) Misunderstandings of meaning frequently occur in conversations. Applying project based learning is able to assist students’ listening due to it provides students the chance to have more practice.
