Project method as modeling of social interaction in a small 
group is one of the innovative technologies in FLT. It presupposes 
using learner-centered approach and developing research and

the project. That’s why they help each other to achieve the concrete

communicative skills. Project is differentiated according to the

- creative skills (to generalize the ideas, to find many variants of 
solving problems, to forecast the effect of the solving); 
- communicative skills (to be able to discuss, to listen to the
