Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as a dynamic approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, encouraging students to engage in meaningful, real-world tasks that develop both language proficiency and 21st-century skills. This article explores the pedagogical benefits of using PBL, such as increased learner motivation, collaboration, and autonomy, while also addressing common challenges faced by EFL teachers, including classroom management, assessment complexities, and lack of training. Drawing on both theoretical perspectives and practical classroom experiences, this article aims to provide a balanced and realistic overview of implementing PBL in the context of EFL education.
