This thesis focuses on the project method of primary school in lessons of English. I concerned myself with the development and the basic terms of the project method in the theoretical part of this work. I described pros and cons of this kind of teaching.

I focused also on how the project method is used in present English textbooks at primary school. In the practical section of this work I created my own project and used it in the classroom. I came to the conclusion that the project method has great motivational power, develops creativity, cooperation and the ability of pupils to use their knowledge and experience in their practical life.
