Welcome all to this edition of #ELTchat - let's define our terms - agree with @bcnpaul |
| 3:00 pm |
esolcourses: |
RT @bcnpaul1: could we maybe start by defining what 'soft skills' actually are in relation to teaching? #eltchat |
| 3:00 pm |
esolcourses: |
IMO, soft skills in relation to teaching would include communication skills, ability to plan and organise, motivational skills #eltchat |
| 3:00 pm |

Am not certain who asked this question #ELTchat |
