The purpose of the article is to analyze the use of project-based technologies in the process of distance learning of a foreign language at higher education institutions. Based on the study of pedagogical, psychological and methodological literature, programmes and methodological documentations of higher education institutions and practical experience it was found that the use of project-based technologies in the process of distance learning of a foreign language at higher education institutions has been insufficiently studied.

The authors have analyzed the problem of students’ self-study organization at higher school on the basis of studying pedagogical, psychological and methodical literature, program-methodical documentation of higher educational institutions, experience of practical work. In accordance with the normative increase on students’ self-study load, there was a need to use Moodle system.
