Defining the major  principles and its connections to reform pedagogical perspectives and the RJR model of acquisition, we highlight how the Project method is particularly suited for ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching, in learning and understanding foreign languages and cultures. We delineate arepresentative example of Project methodology in the ESL classroom by providing a synopsis of the English program’s project in Deák Elementary School of the University of Pécs, a partner institute of the University of Pécs and our Faculty. The ZOOm-in-Project is a concrete example of project pedagogy and its creative fruitful application in the foreign language classroom. We also provide the exact steps, parts, phases of the project with important notes on potential pitfalls and future corollaries.
