participant is actively involved in the search for new information, in the

specialist, knowledge of any subject you are speaking or writing about. The content 
is vitally important, because if this is too limited, your language will be 
correspondingly limited - you do not need and therefore do not use more advanced 
structures and vocabulary. 
The main task of the teacher is not to transfer specific knowledge, but to learn how 
to work to obtain knowledge. To convey the methods of work, algorithms are 
developed for solving typical tasks such as highlighting a problem, finding an 
approach to solving problems, working with information sources, a critical analysis 
of the text, and a description of the results of activities. Separately, it should be said 
about the coordination of projects and the organization of external evaluation, since
it is well known that the best improvisation is one that is well prepared.
Therefore, if the teacher decided to use the project method when studying some 
section of the program’s issue, he should carefully think through, develop, calculate. 
If students are supposed to formulate a problem according to the situation suggested 
by them, the teacher himself must predict several possible options. Pupils can name 
some of them; the teacher brings the guys leading questions, situations to others. 
Students are also invited to produce an advertising poster, booklet, poster or album 
with short texts, drawings, photos, postcards, reflecting the most essential content of 
the topic, by the time they finish studying the topic.
This may be framed as a project task, if given at the very beginning of the study of 
the topic and to build the entire study process, as aimed at the implementation of the 
project. For example, if the study of the topic “Cities of the USA” begins, then 
students will be given the task of creating an advertising booklet “Through the Cities 
of the USA”. This form of work is very popular with students. Here is what they 
wrote about it in their reviews: 
“I can communicate more with my comrades.” 
“I saw many classmates from a completely different perspective. I never thought
that my friends had such talents!” 
- "It's great and fun!" 
- "We learn a lot, about each other, learn to respect the opinions of others." 

28 
“You have to think a lot, read, go to the libraries, sometimes even not to sleep at 
night to come up with something that could impress others. It's interesting!” 
“I like that others listen to what I'm talking about and respect my point of view. In 
ordinary life, this is not often.” 
The project method is a personality-oriented learning aimed at developing a
student. In cooperation with the teacher and other students, the motivation for 
learning is improved, the tension is relieved, the faith in one's success is
increased, and thus, the results that can be obtained after applying this technology 
are as follows: 
- strong and deep assimilation of knowledge; 
- a high level of students' independent work; 
- a high level of scientific knowledge in students; 
- the ability to work in a group, to conduct a group discussion; 
- rallying the children's team; 
- motivation of collective achievements. 
Problems that can be solved using the project method: 
- low level of active, independent work of students; 
- overload of teachers and students. 
Based on the foregoing, the following conclusions can be drawn: 
1. At the center of the educational process is the student, his cognitive and creative 
activities. 
2. The role of the teacher in such an educational process is extremely responsible, 
but it is different than with traditional teaching. 
3. Pupils to a large extent take responsibility for the success of their educational 
activities. 
4. The main goal of such training is the development of students' intellectual
and creative abilities, so that the student is capable of self-realization, independent 
thinking, and making important decisions for himself.
