Abstract


English presentation skills and collaboration are essential 21st-century competencies that students must master. However, Indonesian Secondary Students still demonstrate limitations in speaking confidence, structural organization, and teamwork. This study aimed to enhance these skills through a green education approach integrated with project-based learning (PjBL). The methods included practice-based presentation training, group work through peanut planting as a contextual learning medium, and performance-based evaluation. Initial findings revealed improvement in students’ willingness to speak English, their ability to structure presentations, and their collaborative attitudes within groups. Environmental awareness also increased through hands-on experiences in nurturing plants. In conclusion, this integrative approach effectively develops students’ language proficiency, teamwork, and ecological awareness simultaneously.
