%X In the context of language learning, projects are multiskill activities focusing on topics or 
themes rather than on specific language targets. Students themselves playa crucial part in 
the initial choice of subject matter and the decisions related to appropiate working method, 
the project timetable and the eventual «end product». Project work provides students with 
opportunities to recycle know language and skills in a relatively natural context because 
specific language aims are not prescribed and because students concentrate their efforts 
and attention on reaching an agreed goal. They must«produce» language instead of simply 
«receive» language. 
Through the project News about your city, students of BUP produced a collection of 
stories and interviews about their own school and city which were of interest to their mates. 
Besides, this project offered plenty of scope to students with artistic talents: in addition to 
writing and speaking, there were opportunities for individuals to work on design and layout, 
photography and illustration, publicity and interviews while they where highly involved. The 
last stage was the production of a TV (video) news programme which encouraged students 
to concentrate on the quality of what they produce rather than mere quantity.
