This article describes the experience of using the project method in foreign language classes at the medical university. Using the example of the implementation of the project "Medical Education and Healthcare Abroad", the development of intercultural competence and its role in teaching a foreign language are examined. The features of the development of intercultural competence at the non-linguistic university are noted. The participation of an expert (teacher of the Department of Public Health and Healthcare) gives this project an interdisciplinary character, and also increases students’ motivation. This project allows to work on four aspects described in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): listening, reading, writing and speaking. The use of self-assessment and peer assessment helps to develop critical thinking and allows students to improve their own projects. This project can be implemented in groups where students master a foreign language at different levels.
