Summary: | This paper deals with the advantages brought by Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the ESP
courses and seminars. The first two sections tackle several theoretical elements related to the topic
(definition of PBL, main features and advantages); the next sections focus on a case study proposal
(based on observation and an experiment) in economic sciences, i.e., the application of PBL in ESP
courses and seminars, in order to enhance the students’ ESP skills and soft skills. The practical
sections also propose several PBL activities that can be adapted and implemented for the purpose of
the study, taking into account the curriculum, the students’ needs and proficiency level. The findings
highlight the possible developments in the students’ skills, entailed by the implementation of PBL in
the ESP courses and seminars.
