Abstract

Learning language authentically in the real context is considered the right way in the teaching and learning process. The classroom was designed for teaching speaking. The students were instructed to be able to master English speaking skills. In practice, the activity is supported by listening, writing, and speaking. This integration of skills reflects the daily use of language as a means of transaction/communication. Automatically, students are mostly encouraged to speak a lot as well as to listen and write. The Project-Based Learning was set at the beginning of the semester when students were instructed to have a project, a direct interview with native speakers. Locations were offered to students. Some chose Bali as the destinations of the activities, Bromo, and the rest of students decided to have their own choice for financial consideration and location. Before having a trip, they made some preparations; learning materials from video and books and practicing speaking in the daily interaction in the classroom and outdoor class with their peers. The real projects were making conversation with native speakers documented through video and report. The activities were proven to be a lot of fun. These also motivate them, give authentic learning experience, and improve their confidence.
