Abstract
Learners find many difficulties when they come to write or speak the foreign language. Hence, teachers adapt and adopt different methods and techniques that help students to promote their grammatical competence. The present study aims at describing and investigating teachers' and students' attitudes towards the effect of project based learning in developing EFL students' grammatical competence. In order to check this correlation, we have hypothesized that EFL teachers and learners would perceive PBL as an effective method to enhance learners' grammatical competence. For fulfilling the purpose of this study,a descriptive method was conducted. The data were gathered through self completion of two (2) questionnaires administered to thirty two (32) master one LMD students, specialized in language sciences, and to twenty two (22) teachers who have been teaching them at the department of english at the university of Larbi Ben M'Hidi, Oum-El-Bouaghi, in order to identify their insights about their attitudes towards the effect of PBL on grammatical competence development. The discussion of the results validated the stated hypotheses that EFL teachers and students perceive PBL as an effective method to develop learners' grammatical competence.
