At present, the experts in various fields of technology are on a high demand. Needless to add, that their skills can be better disseminated via their developed language competence – the higher the language competence the better. One of the ways to ensure a quality training of future professionals at engineering universities for being prepared to operate industry or business sector is to support the language training by ICT and project work. The contribution aims at making familiar with how ICT and project work are implemented at the Slovak University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Technology in Trnava, Slovakia.

In particular, four projects are described: a) a bilateral project  titled as “Student on-line conferences of STU MTF (Slovakia) and University of Niš, Faculty of Electronic Engineering (Serbia) for the purposes of English language and other skills development” in which especially the IT researchers and doctoral students are involved, then b) an international ERASMUS+ project titled as “Transnational exchange of good CLIL practice among European educational institutions” in which a new web platform for both language and subject-specific teachers is being developed, then c) a project named as “Development of educational application for STU MTF students with the aim to increase the EST training within self-access study in the study programme of Applied Informatics and Automation in Industry”, and finally d) a project “University textbook "The means of automated production" by interactive multimedia format for STU Bratislava and Košice“ in which ICT  and language competence development support are incorporated.
