Summary/Abstract: The text presents an idea for an educational research project, developed according to the principles of project-based learning. The project is intended for fifth-graders and focuses on the study of colloquial speech – and more specifically, colloquial vocabulary in comparison with its literary equivalents. Students collect language data, analyze them and create a final product – a mini-dictionary, a poster, a collage, a scene, a comic strip, in order to present the results obtained. Despite some of its shortcomings, such as the danger of uneven distribution of tasks and risks for weaker students, the project method is a good teaching and learning tool, as it emphasizes active and inquiry-based learning – students do not just perceive information, but apply it in practical activities. Project-based learning places the student at the center of the learning process, gives him the opportunity to actively participate in the study of real problems from real life and, in addition, develops important abilities and skills such as independence, responsibility, critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, etc.
