Title Effectiveness of Project-Based Instruction (PBI) for Teaching English Grammar at Middle School Level

Author(s) Sameea Masood

Abstract This study aims to introduce and apply a new teaching model, project-based instruction (PBI), for middle-level education in Pakistan. The focus is to teach using a new teaching system for grammar in the English textbooks of selected seventh and eighth grades from a government school in Islamabad, Pakistan. The education system of Pakistan has not yet fully discovered PBI and project-based learning (PBL). The choice of this topic is to practically imply this new teaching method with the current course material using the designs of the experiment and survey under the hybrid method and the constructiv-ism theory of Jean Piaget. The instruments - pre and post-tests and a questionnaire pro-vide the calculation and measurement through the SPSS software to analyze the instruc-tions through learning and the improved outcomes before and after the application. The testing and analysis inspected the reaction of the participating pupils after going through a new learning and teaching approach experience. The chosen sample in this research is random under the non-probability sampling method. The distribution of the picked students by PBL and PBI is under two groups i.e., control and experimental. These groups received two-step testing under PBI on previously gained knowledge and newly learned through inclusive learning and instructions. The instructions followed the pat-tern of ABL and ABI (Activity Based Learning and Instruction) in the classes through open-minded and hands-on educational means. The students remain the central focus while trying to make learning effective. Later, they filled out the survey questionnaire related to the teacher's (researcher) efficiency and pupils' overall targeted performances to improve. The results are the opposite of what was assumed because the students shared subtle differing views from each other on the performance, which did ensure on-point and transparent feedback. The division is on the grounds of different behaviors of the learners towards PBL and PBI being efficient in teaching English grammar in the current scenario.
