Project-based learning as an innovative, student-centred and teacher-facilitated approach to learning is well recognised and followed in many countries. When it is integrated into EFL classes, not only students’ academic knowledge and technical competences but also their soft skills will increase remarkably. Studying a foreign language with that approach in higher education and developing 21st-century skills along with language proficiency makes the students a valuable asset for the industry they work for in the future. This paper gives insights into the contribution of the Project-based learning method to the advancement of 21st-century skills of students in higher education settings. It provides four basic considerations to incorporate the method effectively into teaching based on observations.
