Project-Based Learning (PBL) is gaining recognition as an effective pedagogical strategy in English language education. By emphasizing real-life communication, collaboration, and critical thinking, PBL addresses both linguistic and 21st-century skill development. This article explores the impact of PBL on English proficiency through a comprehensive literature review and observational data. Findings reveal that PBL significantly enhances students' fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and writing abilities, while also fostering motivation, autonomy, and teamwork. Despite its benefits, challenges such as teacher preparedness, time constraints, and assessment complexities remain. The study concludes with practical recommendations for integrating PBL in English language instruction effectively.
