PROJECT WORK AT OUR SCHOOL has been an important method of students’ work for ten years. We were inspired by a group of American teachers around Mrs. Susan Kovalik who visited our school in 1992. We adopted the idea of the project work but we adapted it to the needs of our students, to our academic requirements and we took into account also our cultural background. Our experience with this form of teaching is very positive as it develops wide range of students’ abilities and skills.
