Abstract. This article presents the results of a study on the effect of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on students' English language learning (ELL) attitudes and how the activities influence teaching-learning process in a junior high school in Bali. This research applied an embedded mixedmethod design in which the quantitative data were collected using closeended questionnaires test, and the qualitative data were collected using interview, observation checklist, open-ended questionnaire, and field note. Paired-samples t-test was used to analyse whether or not there is a significant effect on students' attitude after being taught using PBL, while the qualitative data were analysed descriptively. The analysis shows a significant effect on students' attitude. PBL enhances students' learning quality in term of enthusiasm, confidence, and creativity learning ability while it also promotes teacher's teaching satisfaction. This study supports the implementation of PBL which enhances students' English Language Learning attitude and teaching-learning process.

“…Students who were instructed by PW showed more positive attitudes towards the English lesson. These findings were confirmed by Wanchid &Wattanasin (2015) in their investigation of the attitudes of students of Mongkut's University of Technology towards project work. The researchers stated that project work made students "feel more confident and relaxed, that project work made English more interesting, improved their computer skills and the four English skills" (p.586).…”

Project work is used in several educational settings, including foreign and second language teaching contexts. In the Moroccan English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom, the Moroccan Ministry of Education recommended implementing project work, and it is a common component of the Moroccan textbooks of English. Yet, there is a scarcity of studies conducted on the use of project work in Moroccan EFL classrooms. The main aim of the study is to investigate students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards project work. The study addresses the question about students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards project work and the factors behind those attitudes. It was conducted with sixty students and eight teachers belonging to two different high schools (Moulay Rachid and Abbas Sebti high schools) in Tangier. To collect data, the researcher made use of two data collection methods, namely the questionnaire and the interview. The results of the study showed that both students and teachers had positive attitudes towards project work. The results also revealed that not all teachers follow the steps of using project work. Based on the results, it was clear that the lack of technology is one of the most severe challenges that hamper the use of project work. The findings of this study could form the basis for further research and contribute to improving the learning and teaching situation in Moroccan high schools.

The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes of engineering students and their academic performance towards both prerequisite courses for and the final year project (FYP), given the need to increase our understanding of attitudes and performance in the context of engineering students, currently underexplored. Questionnaire surveys of 714 eligible students enrolled in the FYP across six engineering programs were conducted. The results show that students enrolled in Industrial, Mechanical and Civil engineering programs, have a negative attitude towards the FYP and its prerequisites, while students enrolled in Electrical, Electronic and Industrial Design and Technology programs have a positive attitude. A statistically strong positive correlation between project prerequisites and engineering FYP was found, confirmed by factor analysis. Majority of students struggle with project progress as compared to other stages of the FYP, due to inadequacy in fundamentals such as design. This study contributes to an understanding of existing knowledge by providing empirical evidence of not only challenges faced by engineering students (as opposed to other disciplines that have been widely covered) but also remedies to improve students’ academic performance. The findings also have implications on engineering education, in relation to informing policy decisions on engineering program structure.
