Abstract:
“The Method of Projects” is one of the most effectual forms to create an innovative and exploratory atmosphere that will allow to involve students in a dynamic, constructive and cognitive process based on cooperative pedagogy. The project teaching techniques develop student’s activity, independence, ability to expand their imagination and creativity. It also enhances inter-individual relations originated from partnership and collaboration. When working on a project, students practice to work in a team, be responsible to do their part of an assignment, assess the outcomes of their and mates’ pieces of work. It should be noted that learners constantly collaborate, share information with each other, put it together and, finally, draw up a collective goal. Mastering the culture of project assignments, a student is taught to creatively think, independently plan his/her activity, predict available variants to meet challenges and put into practice means and methods of work he/she has learnt.
