to develop students’ speaking abilities is used Project-Based Learning. The formulation of the
problem in this study is. (1) Do the students who taught by using Project-Based Learning have
better score on students speaking ability especially in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary?
This researcher was classified as Pre-Experimental design study. It involved 40 student

result of the pretest researcher can conclude if the study of Speaking Abilities at MTs Mambaus
Sholihin is low, with a total Pretest 1379 and average of Pretest 34,47. Based on test that

74,82.
The result of the research shows that the difference in the speaking abilities between
the student taught using Project-Based Learning and those taught not using Project-Based
Learning is significant. By comparing the magnitude of the “t” obtained in observational
calculations (to = 23,25 ) and the size “t” listed in the value table t (tt.ts.5% = 2.02 and tt.ts.1% =
2.71 ). Then it can be known that the to is greater than the tt : 2,022,71.
Because the to is bigger than tt, then the Ho filed were rejected, and Ha is accepted. This
suggests that there was an effect on Using Project-Based Learning to Improve Students’
