Summary/Abstract: Our study describes a versatile, flexible project methodology that supports 21stcentury educational skills and offers examples of its realisation in schools in an out of-classroom setting. It develops communicative competencies and English language skills of students holistically, by relying on cognitive, social, and general communicative abilities, and thus channels these individual inclinations and strengths into one direction to achieve the project’s pedagogical goal. Our methodological tenet and conclusion is that play in education, conscious methodology in gamification, is a stress-relief in education and is highly efficient in teaching and acquiring long-term cultural and linguistic knowledge. In our project-based learning (PBL) method, we build on the individual interests and preferences of students, thus activating their energy in these areas, which in turn pays off very effectively, as it is the cornerstone of finding the source of students' motivation, which becomes the engine of the learning process, facilitating the achievement of the ultimate pedagogical goal.
