Abstract

This research aimed to measure the comparison of the students’ learning motivation and attitude towards the implementation of teaching English speaking through Problem-Based Learning. The method applied was quantitative with comparative design in which 30 science and 30 social students in year eleventh of SMA Negeri 13 Makassar (XI. IPA 5 and XI. IPS 2) become the samples. The researcher used a questionnaire as the research instrument. The results showed that the science students got higher motivation in learning English than social students. In terms of learning attitudes, science students' responses tended to show higher interest and activeness in learning English toward the implementation of Problem-Based Learning than social studies students. Therefore, it can be inferred that the science students in year eleventh of SMA Negeri 13 Makassar have better speaking skills than the social students through the Problem-Based Learning model.
