Summary/Abstract: The German Language Section at the BBS FIMB introduced the project based language learning in September 2017. Parallel a mixed research was conducted for three semesters among university students learning German as a first (n = 65, 1. sample) or as a second foreign language (n = 59, 2. sample). The main focuses of our research were on the change in students’ problem-solving and motivation and teachers’ cooperation. According to our results in pre- and post-measurement, we measured a significant difference in problem-solving only at the 1. sample (p < 0.001). In the case of the motivation, we did not find a significant difference at the 1. sample. However, the value of the intrinsic motivation of the 2. sample was significantly lower (p < 0.005). Regarding the teacher’s cooperation, the working group has become a team during the three semesters.
