This article investigates the application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a pedagogical strategy to enhance reading skills and promote cultural awareness among beginner English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Through classroom-based projects centered on culturally relevant content, students were observed to improve both their reading comprehension and cultural sensitivity. The findings suggest that integrating PBL into language instruction not only boosts language acquisition but also enriches intercultural competence, fostering a more holistic language learning.
