Additionally, the researcher interviewed six English teachers in collecting qualitative data to analyze the challenges of implementing Project-Based Learning in English classrooms. The results showed that the English teachers' had positive perception towards the implementation of Project-Based Learning. As the teachers have positive perception about the implementation of Project-Based learning, they tend to implement Project-Based learning easily in the classroom. However, it still requires the teachers' readiness to plan and control the time so that English learning can be conducted very well in order to make students achieving English competencies. Furthermore, English teachers have claimed that they found challenges in implementing Project-Based learning in the class including; 1) the teachers' lack of knowledge about the implementation of Project-Based learning, 2) inadequate time in performing Project-Based learning, and 3) ineffective implementation caused by pandemic situation.
