الملخص EN

This research aims to investigate EFL learners' and teachers' attitudes towards the implementation of PBL as a method to improve the speaking skill.

The study was carried out at the Department of English at Batna-2 University, in the fall semester of the academic year 2018-2019.

The subjects are seventy (70) conveniently-selected second-year students and sixteen (16) randomly-selected teachers of English.

A questionnaire as a descriptive data collection tool is used, through which both quantitative and qualitative data are collected and descriptively analyzed.

The results demonstrate that students and teachers have positive attitudes towards PBL.

Moreover, they share an agreement about the effectiveness of the PBL approach in developing the speaking skill.
