This study explores the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in teaching English as a Foreign Language
(EFL) in grades 10–11. The research draws on theoretical perspectives from Hymes, Canale and Swain, Richards, and
Vygotsky to examine the pedagogical implications of PBL. The findings demonstrate that PBL-based courses significantly
enhance students’ fluency, creativity, and confidence in communication. This approach integrates creativity with language
proficiency, equipping students with essential 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, adaptability, and teamwork.
The study concludes with methodological recommendations for educators considering the implementation of PBL in secondary
school curricula.
