Abstract

Purpose: This research aimed to determine the impact of project-based learning and peer assessment learning to improve students’speaking skills and the benefits of PBL and Peer Assessment.

Research Methodology: This research was conducted in the seventh grade at SMPN 2 Babelan-Bekasi, from September 12 to October 10, 2017. It involved only one class, VII.1, at SMPN 2 Babelan-Bekasi. This class consisted of 30 students, 17 females and 13 males. This study was a classroom action research that consisted of three cycles. Each cycle has four steps: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The researcher answered the research questions using four instruments: observation, interviews, tests, and questionnaires.

Results: The results of this research revealed that PBL and Peer Assessment improved students‘ speaking skills. Second, they talked a lot, and they were participating with each other, which motivated them to speak more, be enthusiastic, and be independent learners. In addition, the number of errors in speaking components significantly decreased after they were encouraged to assess their peers.

Conclusions: Based on the theories and previous studies, it can be concluded that peer assessment applied in project-based learning (PBL) has positive effects on teaching speaking. Peer assessment helped the students in speaking English and correcting their performance, which built their motivation to develop their speaking skills.

Limitations: This study involved only one class with a small sample and short duration, limiting generalizability and long-term impact analysis.

Contributions: This study provides evidence that integrating project-based learning and peer assessment can improve students’ speaking skills and promote engagement and autonomy.
