Abstract

This paper focuses on teaching vocabulary and German-speaking skills through “Projektarbeit” ‘project assignment.’ “Projektarbeit” is project-based learning that involves setting the goal, planning, cooperating in groups, implementing, evaluating, and documentation. This study aims to describe: (1) the process of vocabulary teaching and speaking skills based on a project, (2) active vocabulary and expressions on specific themes used by students in the form of Projektabeit, (3) the students’ opinions on the giving of Projektarbeit as individual assignments, and (4) the students’ learning results in the speaking course. The Data were collected in the form of video records, interview scripts, and test scores. The results indicate that “Projektarbeit” can help students comprehend and increase vocabulary and German-speaking skills. The students’ learning results of the Speaking can achieve the standard of Level B1 of CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Student opinions about “Projektarbeit” were highly positive.
