Abstract
English is a foreign language in Indonesia. Speaking is one of the English skills that must be mastered. Developing speaking skills is difficult for foreign language teachers and learners since they rarely use the target language outside the classroom. However, students need more opportunities and confidence to use it outside the classroom. Thus, teachers must adopt various teaching methods to strengthen the students' speaking skills in English. Nowadays, students must possess competencies relevant to the 2 l51 century, such as analysis and problernsolving, creativity and invention., communication, teamwork, life skills, and efficient use of technology. So, Project-Based Learning (PBL) provides opportunities to learn deep content knowledge and 21st-century skills. One of the methods used is using Podcast. A podcast is an up-to-date technology for improving students' listening and speaking abilities. This qualitative study intends to determine the implementation of project-based learning using podcast-assisted media in teaching English speaking skills at one of the schools in Mojokerto, East Java, and the student's perspective on it. The research participants were ten students of grade XI Science. The data collection techniques were observations, interview sheets, and audio and video material. The data were analyzed using an analysis flow by Miles and Huberman, which included data reduction, displaying the data, and a conclusion. This study showed that implementing project-based learning using podcast-assisted media in teaching English speaking skills ran smoothly. Students responded enthusiastically. The students' perspectives were also positive since Podcast-assisted media was able to enrich not only their speaking skills but also develop other language skills.
