they make more easy exercises in stead of. Creative works contain poor vocabulary; texts for reading or translation aren t done.definition of the effective criteria for pupils, we indentify levels on each criteria for both groups, using the method of observation and poll. The results are shown in tables 1 and 2.

) initial level of learning motivation of pupils is low and requires to be increased;
) making a conclusion of teachers answers, we can notice that among the factors that can change the attitude of pupils to English lessons there are requirement of usage on modern computer technologies in order to increase pupils 'interest. That means our experiment has a suitable field of implementation;
) efficiency of pupils 'knowledge is not characterized by high rates and it leads to non-attendances of lessons of English because of fear to get a bad mark or be ridiculed by classmates. Consequently, the effectiveness of knowledge is entirely related to the motivation of pupils.
2.3 Usage of design method with the help of Power Point
Theoretical basis of project development of complex of English lessons on the theme «What a wonderful world!»
After primary stage of the experiment we have conducted formative stage, during which we use special projects, made with the help of computer profram Microsoft Power Point. This project is used only for the experimental group of 8 «А». In the control group, lessons are conducted, using only traditional methods of teaching.

Type of project: innovative with elements of research and creative activity. The practical result of the project has to be presentation of pupils on the theme «Global education as a way to Earth's safe». We suppose that outcome of their works will show results of our research, because, first of all, such task is connected with independent research of pupils, it shows how effective our methods are and also identify major environmental, economic and social problems in modern world.
The aim of the project: to test the effectiveness of method of projects, using the program Microsoft Power Point in the process of teaching English., we should prove that:
) projects enhance the level of language knowledge;
) usage of innovative computer technology provides increased level of internal motivation of pupils to learn English.orientation of the project: cognitive.
