- 1 Previous researches have shown that project – based learning has contributed positive impact on students’ learning experience. However, there is a lack of in-depth studies to explore on the process of conducting project-based learning in language classroom specifically in Universiti Malaysia Kelantan. This research reports on a case study conducted at an Entrepreneurial University in Kelantan. The research is based on the implementation of drama and entrepreneurial project that was assigned to the students as a part of their assessment for an English course. The study aimed to find out whether the Project – Based Learning could stimulate undergraduates’ language skills and entrepreneurial attributes. It also aimed to investigate on the perceptions of the undergraduates towards the project. This project was carried out in one semester starting from February 2014 until May 2014. A number of 30 participants were selected for this research and they were asked to reflect and write about their experience in preparing for the drama presentation as well as organizing a booth for the project. The data for this research derived from reflective journals and questionnaire (closed and open-ended questions) therefore this research is considered as mixed-method research. The findings inferred that the Project-Based Learning receives positive acceptance from the students as majority of the students claimed that the project helped to build up their confidence level when communicating in English during the discussion, presentation and performance as well as improving their teamwork skills. However, when the students were asked about the challenges that they have faced in the process of undertaking the project, they claimed that they had problems to manage the group members and to find suppliers. This research also suggests few recommendations and suggestions for improvement. Based on the findings from this study, it is suggested that Project-Based Learning needs to be implemented in tertiary level of education in all the universities in Malaysia.
