The study discovered: there was different effect in speaking skills between the students who were taught by using project-based learning and those who were taught by using conventional method (F=18.391 and p<0.05) in which the Project-Based Learning group excelled better in speaking skills, there was an interaction between learner autonomy and project-based learning in affecting students’ speaking skills (F= 45.325 and p<0.05), the students in which high learner autonomy who were taught by using the project-based learning affect better than those who were taught by using conventional method; however, there was not significantly different in speaking skills of the students with low learner autonomy who were taught by using project-based learning and who were taught by using conventional method (p>0.05).
