The idea of using English to support
Project Management classes and to
develop Project Management
competences was elaborated having
in mind the advantages of an
interdisciplinary approach to teaching
as an ideal instruction approach for
classes oriented towards providing
audience with practical knowledge.
The focus is not only on developing the
4 traditional language skills (reading,
writing, listening and speaking) but
also on developing specific language
skills necessary for project
management.
For learning PM terminology, there are
plenty vocabulary tasks, such as:
matching exercises, collocations
exercises, word games, word search
puzzles, crossword puzzles.

For developing PM skills, there are tasks
which include combined knowledge
of Project Management, idea
gathering techniques, team work and
language skills, such as: case studies
and problem-solving tasks. The
interdisciplinary approach is highly
motivating because it helps develop
Project Management competences
and the supporting communication
and foreign language skills.
