Project Based Learning is mentioned as the teaching methodology that promote learner autonomy. Kalabzova (2015: 1) states that Project Based Learning (PBL) represents nowadays an approach to learning which may meet several students´ needs. For one thing it offers a skill-based practice for another it symbolizes the focus on students who should become involved, show inner motivation and creativity. The main advantage is that students deal with real subject matter by working on the real problems. It emerges that this sense of solving an authentic difficulty, in the area of group work and cooperation experience has the potential to help students learn. However, project work comprises quite a complex topic since its implementation and usage at schools lays increased demands both on organization and psychological aspects of teachers ‘work. According to Beckett (2002: 54) in the context of second language (L2) education, PBL has a variety of terms that he finds interchangeable, such as project work, project method, project approach, project-oriented approach or project-based instruction. He claims that this method was firstly applied in L2 setting more than 20 years ago in order to provide learners with chances “to interact and communicate with each other and with native speakers of the target language in authentic context.” Moreover, Ribé and Vidal (1993) see PBL as a chance for students with poor linguistic skills to be in project work actively participating as they may make use of their other talents in other non- linguistic tasks and consequently improve their confidence and general attitude towards language learning. Based on those theories it can be assumed that project based learning is teaching method that offer learner autonomy and freedom to be enggaged with their learning activity. From that also the learner can learn their language (L2) by doing their project conciously or unconciously. Project based learning also believed can promote learner autonomy in class of enterpreneurship. By alowing the students to do the bussiness, the students also can show the talent in other linguistic tasks and improve their confidence and attitude toward learning. Afterwards, the perceptions of students Rahmatika… 112 need to be analyzed in order to measure the level of success or failure of this implementation in evoking students willingness to create bussiness. 2. RESERCH METHOD This qualitative research that involved one shoot-case study was conducted in SMAN 2 Pringsewu.. The participants of this study were 62 sixth- semester undergraduate English Education students that registered as students in enterpreneurship class divided in two classes.
