This study aims to determine the effect of Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model on students' English learning motivation at MTs As-Syafi'iyah Kalongan. The background of this study is based on the low motivation of students to learn in English subjects which is largely due to the learning methods that are still teacher-centered and minimal active student involvement. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi experimental design. The research subjects consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class that used the PjBL model and the control class that used conventional methods. The data collection technique was carried out through a learning motivation questionnaire given at the time of the pre-survey and post-survey. The data obtained were analyzed using normality test, homogeneity, independent t-test, and N-Gain calculation. The results showed that there was a higher increase in learning motivation in the experimental group compared to the control group. The N-Gain score in the experimental class was 0.3544 (medium category), while the control class was only 0.1587 (low category). The t-test results showed a significant difference between the two groups. Thus, it can be concluded that the PjBL model has a significant effect on increasing students' English learning motivation.
