The paper discusses problem-based learning as one of the up-to-date and effective meth-
odological and pedagogical approaches to both ESP teaching and profes-sional compe-
tence development in compliance with the new generation state standards in tertiary edu-
cation. Learning strategies of the problem-based learning are described using our own
experience in organizing the problem-solving activities in professional educational envi-
ronment as well as analyzing the tried and tested problem situations, tasks, and ques-
tions. Their ad-vantages and drawbacks are revealed. We pay special attention to the
case study method: lesson organization is described stage-by-stage; examples and rec-
ommendations are given; general case analysis outline is introduced; appropriate Eng-
lish set phrases, problem-solving samples, linguistic and empirical data are offered; stu-
dents’ activities are evaluated; teacher’s role is thought through. In conclusion, practical
applicability of the case study method at ESP lessons is validated.
