Abstract


The paper examines the issues of using project-based learning in teaching foreign languages (FL) at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, as a combined educational strategy with high potential for creating a favorable educational environment and promoting students’ involvement in the educational process. The aim of the research is to develop effective methodological procedures using a differentiating approach to teaching students with different levels of foreign language competence, various psychological and motivational attitudes, and inclinations. To achieve this goal, we developed and implemented a number of methods based on project strategies as part of the FL course and conducted a survey aimed at identifying changes in motivation to learn languages. A team role assignment technology has been designed and described in detail for the project “Production in Space” with an eye to its potential use in other projects. The principle of changing functional roles for subsequent project works has been embodied in the role change matrix.
