abstract: This research aims at improving the students’ writing skills at grade XI of SMA N 2 Sleman through the use of project-based learning technique in the academic year of 2014/2015.
	This research is classified as action research. It was conducted in two cycles, from April 23rd, 2015 to May 9th, 2015 in which each cycle consisted of two meetings. The procedures of the research were reconnaisance, planning, action and observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were 32 students of grade XI IPA 1 of SMA N Sleman. The data obtained during the research are in qualitative and quantitative forms. The qualitative data were acquired by observing the teaching and learning process, interviewing the students and the collaborators, and taking pictures of the teaching and learning process. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were collected from the results of students’ pre-test and post-test as well as from the texts the students made during the implementation of the actions which were analyzed to get the mean scores to be compared and to determine the gain score.
	The research showed that the use of project-based learning was able to improve the students’ writing skills based on the several evidences. Firstly, the use of project-based learning enhanced students’ motivation in writing as the students showed enthusiastic and active participation during the teaching and learning process of writing.  Secondly, the implementation of project-based learning empowered students’ creativity since it enabled students to explore themselves while developing the product. Thirdly, project-based learning made the bond between the teacher and the students closer as the teacher monitored and supervised the students throughout the project work. Forthly, there were some significant improvements in the aspects of writing as shown in each text which the students wrote. The students’ score in the pre-test was 14.82 and it increased to 19.42 in their post-test with the gain score 4.6.
