Abstract: The study aimed at investigating the problems that secondary students often have when making a presentation and the effects of project-based learning in enhancing secondary school students’ presentation skills. The population samples consist of 33 eighth-grade students. Data collection instruments were questionnaires and observation. The results showed that students’ difficulties were mostly caused by their instructors and audience, followed by the lack of oral presentation skills and their personal traits. The research findings also proved the effectiveness of using project-based learning to enhance secondary school students’ presentation skills. Thanks to project-based learning, students developed positive attitudes towards presentation and improved their presentation skills.
