A project work enhances students’ language skills, develops their metacognitive skills, their confidence, independence and interpersonal skills, which are very important for people’s lives .When students come from a mix of cultural and educational backgrounds project work improves the learning process and provides them with the necessary intercultural communication skills. A case study approach was taken. It is a qualitative approach where observation and interviews were the instruments used to collect the data. The questions that guide our study are how project work benefits students in developing students’ language skills and group work skills. The other question is to what extent the use of projects in multilingual groups leads to developing intercultural communication skills.
