English teachers of SMA must use Curriculum 13 for teaching English. In the early implementation of the curriculum, the teachers must use scientific approach. Nowadays, scientific approach is not the only approach to teach English using Curriculum 13. English teachers may also use the other approaches; one of them is project-based learning. That is why, it is necessary to conduct a research to develop a model of teaching English using project-based learning to help English teachers teach English to SMA students in Surakarta. The objectives of the research are: (1) to study the quality of the existing model for teaching English in SMA Surakarta; and (2) to develop a model for teaching English using project-based learning which is feasible to develop the students' four English skills. The research method used is Research and Development. Because it is an educational research, it is classified as Educational Research and Development. The results of the research in the first year show that there are still some weaknesses of the existing model for teaching English, so it is necessary to design the prototype for teaching English using projectbased learning. The prototype is tried out until it becomes a feasible model for the teacher to teach English, for the students to study English, and for developing the students' four English skills (listening, reading, speaking, dan writing).
Project-based learning (PBL) is used to make learning like acquisition so that it is more natural and interesting and the students are interested and motivated in learning English. The objective of the research is to develop a model for teaching English using PBL which is feasible to develop the students' four English skills. The research method used is Educational Research and Development by designing a prototype consisting of the following steps: determining basic questions, designing a project, making a schedule, conducting the project, monitoring the project, examining the results, and evaluating the experience. The prototype was tried out for teaching English to SMA students, the weaknesses were revised, it was tried out again and revised until it became a feasible model. The result of the research shows that the model is feasible for the teacher to teach English and for the students to study and develop their four English skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing). It implies that project-based learning can be used by the English teachers to teach English to develop the students' four English skills.
