Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Articles This study is a systematic literature review that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PJBL) integrated with digital media in enhancing students' writing skills in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. PJBL is recognized as a pedagogical approach that emphasizes contextual learning through real-world projects, involving students' cognitive, collaborative, and creative engagement. This review analyzed 24 studies published between 2016 and 2025, focusing on the implementation of digitally supported PJBL in writing instruction. The findings indicate that the integration of PJBL and digital media significantly improves students’ writing quality, particularly in terms of paragraph structure, grammar, cohesion, and coherence. In addition, this approach fosters students' motivation, active engagement, and collaborative skills in completing writing tasks. However, several challenges were identified, including limited infrastructure, teacher readiness, and gaps in students’ digital literacy. This study highlights the importance of institutional support and continuous professional development to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of PJBL with digital media in writing instruction within the digital era.
