Investigating the Effectiveness of Problem-Based Language Learning for Improving English Spelling of Undergraduate Students

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of problem-based learning in improving English Spelling Proficiency among undergraduate students. Despite the importance of spelling in language development, many students face challenges in mastering it due to the conventional memorization methods. This research aims to assess how problem-based learning can enhance spelling skills and engage students through structured Problem-solving activities. This study used quantitative research with the Pre and Post test to compare how students learn through problem-based language learning performed in spelling versus those who used traditional methods. A random sampling technique was applied to select 100 undergraduate Students of Sanghar and divide them into two groups: one using Problem-based language learning method and the other using the traditional method. The results highlight that the students in the problem-based language learning group showed a significant improvement in spelling accuracy compared to those who used traditional methods. These findings suggest that problem-based language learning can be an effective way to teach spelling and can be used in other educational settings to improve spelling outcomes.
