The sample was given 12-week course instruction with 4 projects to complete. In this stage, Project-based learning was the main teaching methodology in the classroom. Data collected from the Pre-test, Post-test and Follow-up test undertaken by the sample were compared and analyzed statistically using an ANOVA. At the end of the course, the sample had a chance to express their opinions towards Project-based learning in teaching grammar through semi-structure interview questions. The findings reveal that Project-based learning could enhance secondary school students’ grammatical competence in learning grammar. In addition, the students presented their opinions positively towards Project-based learning as they said that they would like to learn through this teaching method again in learning English.
