Sažetak
Educating project managers includes developing project management competences, but also other supporting skills, such as foreign languages, namely English, the lingua franca of international business. This resulted in cooperation between teachers of English and Project Management who developed an integrated approach to teaching and learning English and project management, which is successfully being implemented at the “B. A. Krčelić“ College of Business and Management in Zaprešić, Croatia, that cooperates with the Croatian Association for Project Management (CAPM). The students are offered a double benefit – they learn a foreign language and project management at the same time. This approach to teaching is based on teaching materials created on the basis of IPMA ICB, i. e. ICB is used as authentic material for learning English, and has been methodologically adapted for the needs of teaching and learning specific PM-related terminology. The “side-effect“ is learning about PM competences, which helps students prepare for IPMA certification exam. So far, this approach and the textbook resulting from it, which will be presented in detail, have had good results.
