    The research Project Based Learning (PBL) to improve speaking represents a theoretical-practical solution at the low level of speaking of the students of the eighth level of Unidad Educativa San Felipe Neri (UESFN). The main objective was to determine the influence of PBL on oral communication in English in the classroom. The students worked with systematized projects in a dynamic environment and in a real context to improve the teaching-learning process. It let students improve pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and interaction. An arduous literature review was carried out for the delimitation of the variables and theoretical support. The methods used were analytical, deductive and descriptive. Through a diagnostic test and a rubric (KET) applied at the beginning and end of the period established in the research, the level of speaking of the students was determined. The next step was to inquire about the perception that teachers have about the level of speaking of their students and the way of working with PBL by UESFN teachers. Once the problem was determined, strategies based on PBL were applied that allowed improving the speaking skill. The monitoring of the application of PBL was carried out with an observation guide. The results subject to statistical analysis were positive using the T-student test. It was determined that the experimental group had an improvement of 0.5 more in the average in the total score than the control group. The observation guide showed a gradual improvement after the execution of each one of the four projects performed. In this way the speaking skill in the UESFN students was improved. It is recommended to apply this guide based on PBL and develop new projects with PBL to improve communicative skills.
