Has any one every tried combing soft skills training with language classes for advanced students.

The clients I have are okay with reading and writing, but they really need to focus on speaking skills. Also many of the candidates lack the necessary soft skills to work in a corporate environment.

Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure really. I've kind of done it the other way round - with low level EFL speakers. Having to teach team building, communication, working effectively with others etc. I came to this as a soft skills trainer - and discovered that I wasn't being very effective. So I have since trained as an EFL instructor - and it helps me in my delivery. ie presenting vocabulary and adjusting language etc.

I currently teach a lot of soft skills to second language speakers - and my students are great on the speaking part, but have difficulty with the reading and writing. I'd be interested to see if anyone has any further useful comments on this topic!

Hi

 you can go for various small tasks and exercises like group discussion, extempore etc this would take few minutes.
