Abstract: The article under consideration focuses on the importance of project work and its role in problem-solving issues as well as a tool motivating the students to learn a foreign language. Project works enable to develop various skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, time-management and research. Students research different information relevant to the problem, analyze data and identify potential solutions. These processes strengthen their research skills and teach them to evaluate information critically. Moreover, project-based activities allow students to go beyond the curriculum and develop a range of vital skills from job searching and resume building to effective teamwork and cyber security. Working in a team, they develop communication skills, learn to cooperate and understand each other. These skills help them successfully adapt to an ever-changing world. The authors, relying on their own teaching experience, focus on some issues envisaging how some types of project work are designed and adopted into the English Language Department (hereafter ELD) of Satbayev University (hereafter SU). Keywords: project work, problem-solving skills, project-based learning, motivation, critical thinking, independent work, SU, ELD.
