Abstract

The Deep Learning approach has emerged as an innovative framework in English language instruction, particularly at the vocational high school level in Indonesia. However, its classroom implementation, especially in writing instruction, remains limited. This study aims to examine how Deep Learning is implemented to support students’ writing skill development through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Employing a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted at a vocational high school in Pekalongan and involved one English teacher and two students. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis. The findings revealed five key aspects: the integration of Deep Learning principles, the application of PjBL as a tool for deep learning, challenges in implementation, the role of social support and affective classroom climate, and the strengthening of students’ writing ability. The results indicate that PjBL facilitates meaningful, reflective, and contextual writing processes, enabling students to develop deeper understanding, coherence, and confidence in writing. This study concludes that Deep Learning-oriented PjBL can effectively transform writing instruction into a more meaningful learning experience. Future research is recommended to involve broader participants and longer observation periods.
