Abstract
The following paper reports the results of a qualitative study with an action research design (Nunan 1992) sought to analyze the incidence of Project Based Learning (PBL) in the affective filter reduction presented in high school students from a Colombian institution. The initial Affective Filter questionnaire detected high levels of anxiety along with low motivation and self confidence levels. After these results, a set of implementations based on Colombian culture projects were carried out. The sessions were studied by analyzing field diaries, observation rubrics and a focus group in comparison to the final questionnaire results. The final questionnaire results showed anxiety reduction from high to medium levels, and medium to high self-confidence and motivation levels. The students reported PBL has a positive incidence in their oral production, particularly in socio affective variables such as risk taking and engagement. Subsequently, the field diaries evidenced controlled output to increase fluency in English.
