dc.description.abstractTo be innovative, the chosen methodological framework in higher education must encompass strategies centred on the student and his professional expectations linked to his training field, with the objective of also working on vital and adequate transversal skills according to the requirements of the labour market and with better results than traditional practices accomplish/have accomplished. A creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment ensures the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness in the digital age. St-Jean & Dupuis Brouillette (2021) show that, thanks to pedagogical activation, the student effectively engages in his learning, progressing thanks to his ideas and their fulfilment. In project-based learning, the student must invest in developing a project, a dynamic strategy that requires collaborative work, the use of technologies and the creation of artefacts. The teacher’s role is to supports learning. The experience presented focuses on the learning of foreign languages through project pedagogy, using digital tools available mainly on android, tablet and computer equipment with undergraduate Media Studies students of the School of Education in Viseu (Portugal), in order that they may acquire skills in French and English for specific purposes. Students work on a project in the two foreign languages using strategies and skills specific to their future professional field. The methodology is presented and discussed, as well as the difficulties encountered and the results obtained, both from the point of view of the student and that of the teacher. Current research results tend to show that the use of active learning methodologies in the context of collaborative work, compared to traditional strategies, can increase student motivation and autonomy. They promote the interactive process among students and between them and the teachers, facilitating the acquisition of knowledge and skills as far as foreign languages are concerned. Our objective is to show the path followed by students and teachers, to describe the evolution of learning, with its positive aspects, stumbling blocks and difficulties, and to open up new ways of reflecting on the foreign language teaching/learning process in higher education, based on an experience carried out with students at this particular level. The conclusions taken highlight the need for forthcoming work projects in this area.pt_PT
