been completed without the help of many people to whom I am indebted First of all, I am greatly indebted to Dr Tran Ba Tien , my supervisor, for his invaluable guidance, comments, criticisms, corrections and for his kindly constant encouragement during the course of writing this thesis Second, I would like to thank all lecturers at Foreign Languages Department, Vinh University for their valuable teaching and tremendous assistance that have enlightened my study path I also would like to give my special thanks to the students who have actively participated in my study at Tan Phu high school Last but not least, my sincere thanks go to my family, my classmates at the Master Course Class, my friends, especially my wife, who also encourages and shares the hardship with me These people

Phu high school in Dinh Quan district Dong Nai province gain from Project-Based Learning ,and their self-confidence during the application of project-based learning (PBL) on 10th graders’ English performance The study examined whether PBL could enhance to learning students’skill , and self- confidence in Tan Phu high school The method of teaching and learning English language through PBL was a contrast to the traditional method teaching of English in Tan Phu high school where it is treated as a subject, not a medium of communication This is a mixed research study utilising both quantitative and qualitative instruments to collect data from participants The study was conducted in an EFL classroom in a high school Data were collected from 28 students in grade 10 class In this research paper, the analysis of the collected data this research is done based on qualitative and qualitative methods The data collected from questionnaires would be mainly analyzed qualitatively In addition, qualitative approach will also be applied through the data collected from interviews and observations to give an insightful description of the issue student surveys, project diaries, open-ended questionnaires, field notes and work-in-progress discussions The research instruments were utilised for one semester The results of the study showed that PBL had a statistically significant effect on the development of students’ participation and interaction and their confidence showed progress in learning English The findings indicated that PBL enhanced their learning skills (teamwork, higher-order thinking and presentation skills) together with self-confidence Particularly when it is linked to significant improvements in the students’ learning skills and self-confidence in the use of English iii The study concluded that PBL could be an effective means of teaching English as a foreign language but PBL requires a gradual shift in teaching methodology designed to suit the background of both the teacher and learners These adjustments will impact the effectiveness in the application and implementation of PBL in a foreign language classroom will contribute to a succesful learning outcome for students in Tan Phu high school iv Page DECLARATION i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS… ii ABSTRACT iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ix LIST OF CHARTS x CHAPTER INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale 1.2

responsibility of the learning process Teachers should give projects to students so that students have a chance to select from a number of subjects In addition, teachers should pay attention to the students so that the students organise their work with the principles of project-based learning High School English Curriculum in Viet Nam should be integrated with the techniques and principles of project-based learning in order to develop students‘ academic, communicative and creative competences as well as other social and emotional skills Similar researches can be carried out in other lessons and institutions such as elementary school or junior school level 65 REFERENCES Allen, L Implementing a culture portfolio project within a constructivist paradigm, Foreign Language Annals, 37,
