| metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: | This study aimed to explore the impact of using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on improving the English-speaking skills of eighth-grade students in Chinese public schools and to investigate students' satisfaction with the application of this teaching method in English classes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data analysis: 1) Pre-test and post-test measurements were used to collect quantitative data; 2) Questionnaires; 3) Classroom observation. Statistical methods such as paired sample t-tests and descriptive analysis were utilized to compare means, standard deviations, and percentages. The findings indicated that students’ post-test scores improved after engaging in English speaking activities through PBL, with mean scores increasing from 45.25 to 64.30. The t-test result was-31.74, and the p-value (Sig. one-tailed) was below 0.005. The questionnaire results showed that students were most satisfied with "Course structure and content" (X̅ = 4.74), followed by "Teaching methods and interaction" (X̅ = 4.66) and "Learning environment and resources" (X̅ = 4.33). Overall, students expressed satisfaction with the use of the PBL in English classes. Classroom observation forms indicated high satisfaction in five areas: teaching, teacher personality, learning environment, teaching materials, and facilities. Based on these results, this study recommends the broad implementation of PBL as an effective teaching strategy to enhance English speaking skill in English language education |
