Abstract

This research is aimed at investigating the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) using a voice recorder, Orai application, and web as material sources. It is conducted to determine the impact of combining PBL and digital tools on speaking performance. The participants were 80 students who took English subject in State Polytechnic of Malang, Electronic Engineering study program. Five aspects of speaking performance were observed to determine which ones are affected by the strategy. The research methodology employed was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test. Participants were selected via random sampling. The research sample consisted of two classes with the total sample of 80 students. Data analysis was done through hypothesis testing of the speaking performance data. The results showed that infusing digital technology into project-based learning can significantly improve speaking performance in the aspects of grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary, but does not significantly affect the fluency and pronunciation aspects. Advice and recommendations to the faculty and teacher candidates were discussed further. © 2024 Asociacion Mexicana de Maestros de Ingles MEXTESOL A.C. All rights reserved.
