Abstract
The research objectives of this study were to investigate students’ opinion towards the effects of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) focused on Isan food on English speaking ability of sixth grade students. A probability cluster random sampling method was used to select one sixth-grade classroom consisting of 27 students. This study employed one group pre-test and post-test design. The instruments used in research procedure were the lesson plan based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD), English speaking ability test, and a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by Paired sample t-test, mean (), and standard deviations (S.D.). The result of this research showed that the average post-test English speaking ability scores of students was significantly higher than the pre-test at the .05 level. The most developed speaking criterion was in presentation of character. Additionally, students strongly agreed on one point: Learning activities can promote their speaking ability. The lesson plan integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) focused on Isan food could effectively improve students' speaking skills.
