The paper deals with conceptual students’ perception of problem-based learning and project-based learning in a higher education institution. Nowadays students have a different lifestyle, various opportunities to study and different learning habits, so traditional learning does not satisfy them. Teachers must look for more modern ways to transfer the information and to explain the topics and issues. And some of these ways are problem-based learning and project-based learning methods. The authors of the paper carried out the research, assessing the students’ point of view on these modern ways of learning. The research methods: literature analysis and comparative method, which allowed to clarify and to compare the differences of problem-based and project-based learning, and the questionnaire to get the students’ opinion about these methods used in a higher education institution.

In the judgment with commentaries, the Provincial Administrative Court in Opole made a statement concerning the penalty of expulsion from a higher education institution as a disciplinary penalty declared only by disciplinary committees. From the point of view of the judgment with commentaries, it is of importance to specify that this penalty is not of “life-long” nature, nor dśs it result in deprivation of the right to study in other institutions. The author approves of the position held by the judgment with commentaries and claims it to be an accurate and significant voice of the judiciary, which may prove substantial in eliminating legal ambiguities (and absurdities) arising as a result of applying the provisions of law in regard to responsibilities of higher education students, drawing attention to the incomplete and insufficient form of the provision of the relevant legal regulation.

The article demonstrates the need for continuous intercultural education in teaching Russian both as a native and a foreign language. The authors focus on the fact that intercultural education not only contributes to increase the level of language proficiency, but also has a positive impact on learners' personal, intellectual, emotional, and creative potential formation, regardless of their age group. The paper describes the essence and functions of project-based learning, which is considered an effective educational technology for intercultural education. Its potential is shown through the example of the intercultural project carried by a general school in cooperation with a polytechnic higher education institution. The authors aim to demonstrate how the problems and interests of younger schoolchildren, who tend to be more open to intercultural communication, match with those of their parents and teachers on the one hand, as well as with the problems and interests of foreign pupils and teachers of Russian as a foreign language, on the other. In conclusion, the research summarises the impact of intercultural projects on learning a foreign language. The authors also mark the importance of school and post-school socialpartnership in conditions of modern intercultural education.
