description 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.
