This study examines the potential effect of Project-Based Learning Approach on developing Jordanian students' writing performance. The study follows a quasi- experimental design in which an experimental group and a control group were purposefully chosen from eighth grade students at Omar Bin AI-Khattab Primary School for Boys in Al-Korah Directorate of education in Jordan during the first semester of the academic year 2017-2018. In the experimental group, 30 students were taught by project-based learning approach and 30 students of the control group were taught by the conventional teaching method as outlined in the Teacher’s Book. To collect the data, a pre-¬post test was utilized. T-test was used to measure statistical differences in the mean scores of the participants of the study. The findings reveal that there were statistically significant differences (at α=0.05) in the total scores and sub-skills scorcs of the experimental and the control groups in the post-test in favor of the experimental group. The study recommends an integration of the project-based learning approach into English as a foreign Language (EFL) curriculum in Jordan as it facilitates developing students' writing skills.
