This study examines the integration of problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL) in language education, focusing on their impact on students’ achievement and motivation. Drawing on various scholarly works, this article provides insights into how these learner-centered methodologies foster critical thinking, collaboration, and autonomy in English and literature courses. By analyzing the contributions of educators and learners, the research highlights the pedagogical benefits and challenges of implementing these approaches. Findings reveal that PBL and PjBL can significantly improve engagement and language acquisition in EFL contexts when appropriately facilitated.
