Abstract
Old-fashioned teaching methods in classroom-based education lack providing what learners need for future requirements .Born out of progressive education reform, and inspired by Dewey’s (1897) and Kilpatrick’s (1918) theories of learning, Project-based Learning is designed to deliver an active, engaging, student-centered approach to learning. It is a teaching method in which students gains knowledge and skills by working for an extended period to investigate and respond to a complex problem or challenge. The current work attempts to investigate the effect of implementing Project-Based learning on the students’ academic performance in the EFL classroom in light of the new reforms of the Algerian educational system. Emphasis was put on trying to establish a relationship between the teaching method and the academic performance. Conceptually, this inquiry was framed using significant aspects of the constructivist theory, while briefly referring to other learning theories. Initially, this study is based on the assumption that using the project-based approach in teaching English would improve the students’ performance. To reach this research's objectives, a mixed research design is used. Data are collected using a questionnaire, an interview, an attitude scale, and achievement tests. As a prelude, the researcher sought to explore the factors affecting fourth-year students’ academic performance in the English subject at the Wilaya of Khenchela. Subsequently, a T-test is used to analyze the effectiveness of the project-based approach on fourth-year students at Mohammed Boussalem Middle school performance after subjecting the experimental group and the control group to a pre-test and a post-test under the same conditions to measure differences in performance. The obtained data revealed that project-based learning has a positive effect on the students’ academic performance in learning English
