Abstract

This paper explores the application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in teaching English for tourism

students. The tourism industry requires professionals who can communicate effectively in English

and solve real-life problems creatively. Therefore, PBL provides a learner-centered framework that

integrates language skills with practical, tourism-related projects. The paper discusses theoretical

foundations, implementation strategies, challenges, and pedagogical benefits of PBL in English for

Tourism (EFT) contexts. The findings suggest that PBL enhances language proficiency, critical

thinking, collaboration, and intercultural competence, making it an effective method for preparing

students for real-world communication in tourism
