The importance of educational projects in the learning process is now without any doubt and is proved by the requirements of Federal state educational standards of higher education that state the necessity to use a foreign language for professional tasks implementation. An educational project creates the possibility of acquiring such experience as the project is always aimed at solving a significant problem, making closer the educational process and the work activity of future graduates. However, for the students’ project activity implementation the students are required to possess numerous skills associated with the goals and objectives setting, organizing, planning, and presenting the results of the work, as well as the processing of various types of information. The relevance of this work is explained by the necessity to find methods and means promoting the formation of these skills. Mind-mapping is one of such methods and the appropriateness of its application in the students’ project activity is proved in this paper. The author gives the recommendations on the creation of mind maps and defines the area of their application. The process of implementing the project’s steps of the educational process with the help of mind-maps is described. The results of the students’ survey aimed to the study of the influence of mind maps technique on the successfulness of educational activities related to the educational project implementation are analyzed. Basing on the results of survey, as well as the observations of the students’ behavior during the learning process, the author makes the conclusion on the advantages of mind map technique application for the development of some learning skills, as well as on positive impact of mind map technique on the formation of language skills of the students.
