Berbicara adalah tindakan interaktif untuk membangun makna yang melibatkan memproduksi, menerima, dan juga memproses informasi (Brown, 1994; Burns & Joyce 1997). Itu berarti berbicara adalah cara bagi siswa untuk mengekspresikan kata atau kalimat untuk memperluas informasi untuk pendengar atau audiens. Bisa dikatakan kemampuan siswa dapat diukur dengan cara dia berbicara. Namun, berbicara juga membuat siswa takut. Masalah yang umum ditemukan adalah kurangnya kosa kata, pengucapan, dan lingkungan yang tidak didukung untuk berbicara bahasa Inggris. Secara praktis, diyakini bahwa Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek dapat membantu siswa untuk berbicara. Dalam metode ini siswa dapat memperoleh pengetahuan dan keterampilan dengan belajar melalui menyelidiki dan menanggapi bahan otentik, masalah dan juga tantangan. Sangat membantu untuk mempertajam penampilan berbicara siswa karena mereka terlibat untuk membangun pengetahuan mereka sendiri dengan berlatih bersama teman-teman mereka dan juga melakukan proyek sedangkan guru bertindak sebagai pengamat dan fasilitator dalam proses belajar mengajar. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang diusulkan untuk menggambarkan implementasi Project Based Learning dalam pengajaran teks recount kepada siswa kelas X di SMK Negeri 1 Buduran dan untuk menganalisis kinerja berbicara siswa. Dalam hal tujuan penelitian, satu guru dan 30 siswa dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui lembar observasi dan rubrik berbicara siswa (Ary, et al, al) analisis mengungkapkan bahwa guru mengikuti prosedur Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek dengan beberapa modifikasi dalam mengajar berbicara. Para siswa juga berpartisipasi selama pelaksanaan Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek. Selain itu, analisis kinerja berbicara siswa dari perwakilan dalam tugas kedua lebih baik. Artinya siswa telah memenuhi kriteria penampilan. Singkatnya, Project Based Learning dapat diimplementasikan dalam pengajaran berbicara karena membantu siswa untuk mempraktikkan bahasa Inggris mereka lebih baik.
