partner, to express own opinion using arguments, to come to 
compromises, to express laconically own ideas). 
According to the character of the final product there are the 
following types of projects: 
1. Constructive-practical projects (design of diary, situations). 
2. Role-playing projects (dramatization, writing a play). 
3. Informative and research projects (on the chosen topic). 
4. Publishing projects (writing an article for a newspaper). 
5. Scenario projects (designing the program of the party). 
6. Survey projects (sociological questionnaire or interview). 
7. Creative projects (essay, translation of a text). 
The process of the project organization includes the following 
stages:
1) Preparation stage: choice of a problem or topic; making 
hypothesis and discussion in the group the ways of problem-solving.
2) Project-carrying stage: searching the information or material 
for the problem-solving; opening the theme through analysis and 
classification of the selected material; writing a presentation.
3) Presentation stage: presentation and public defense of the 
project; evaluation of the project by the teacher and students. 
Thus, project-based learning begins with an assignment to carry 
out one or more tasks that lead to the production of a final product. 
The culmination of the project is normally a written and/or oral 
report/ presentation summarizing the procedure used to produce the 
product and presenting the outcome. 
It was mentioned that there are different types of the project 
activity. We would like to demonstrate the procedure of a survey 
project organized as the information-gathering activity.

Students are subdivided into groups (4 or 6 students), each 
group uses a survey instrument to investigate a topic. The 
teacher selects the topic that resonate with what is important in 
students’ lives and prepares a set of ready questions to help 
student to conduct an interview on the given by the teacher topic. 
Each group decides how to proceed when interviewing 
respondents. The aim of this activity is to compile interesting 
information and report it in English, including numbers and 
percentages in the form of the tables or charts. After 
interviewing each group presents its results to the teacher outside 
of class and receives a feedback and suggestions. Then one of 
the representatives of the group presents the research to the 
audience (class). Students ask a reporter the questions.
