Abstract: Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a transformative educational approach, particularly effective in enhancing speaking skills among students. This article delves into various PBL techniques that actively engage students in communication-intensive activities. Techniques such as collaborative discussions, presentation projects, peer teaching, real-world simulations, and multimedia projects are explored for their potential to improve verbal communication. Each method encourages students to articulate their thoughts, negotiate ideas, and present information clearly and persuasively. Additionally, the incorporation of reflective discussions at the end of each project further enables students to evaluate and refine their speaking skills. Collectively, these PBL strategies not only bolster academic and professional communication skills but also foster essential life competencies in students.
