| Abstract | This study aimed to 1) investigate the effectiveness of project-based learning on students' level of vocabulary knowledge and 2) find out the students' attitudes towards project-based learning. The participants included 16 fourth-year students enrolling in the academic year 2019 at the Faculty of Liberal Arts; Southeast Bangkok College. There were four males and twelve females; aged 21-22. A quantitative analysis of the participants' written essays; using Cobb's Lextutor Vocabulary Profiler; explored if there were any differences in the level of vocabulary knowledge between pre-project and post-project essays. The findings revealed that the students' level of vocabulary knowledge improved significantly and the students had positive attitudes towards project-based learning. The results showed that the participants significantly used less K1 words in their post-project essays which reflected their better level of vocabulary. In addition: the students showed their improvement of vocabulary knowledge by using more K1 families and K1 types in their post-project essays. Moreover, the students significantly used higher number of AWL words in their post-project essays. According to the results; it can be concluded that classroom activities such as searching information for creating an end product throughout project-based learning such as the exploration of data for creating tourism advertisement; tourism itinerary and tourism marketing helped students acquire more academic words. |
