This research investigated 23 English students activities, results, and their responses in essay writing using a PjBL model. We employed three instruments; observation, questionnaire, and test. Qualitative descriptive techniques analyzed the data. The results showed that (1) the implementation of the project-based learning model was classified as good and successful. It can be seen from the student's learning outcomes and the successful implementation of the steps that have been determined.
