The article points out project work for teaching foreign languages at institutions of higher professional education. For learner autonomy organisation we introduce project-based learning. Special attention is paid to the academic aspect, i.e. the change of curricula and work programmes in foreign languages and the related increasing role of educational autonomy. The role of educational strategies in the independent learning process is determined. The advantages of project work for the organisation of independent work are revealed. The author gives examples of lessons from her own practice of teaching, developed with the help of project methodology, their critical evaluation is given. The possibility of using the evaluation of students’ work on the project not only at the last stage, but throughout the project is shown. We consider the applicability of these projects, assesses the work on the project and analyses the success of the organisation of independent work using the project methodology.
