Course Summary
Soft skills are personal attributes, as well as personality traits, social skills and communication skills. They characterize how an individual interacts with peers within and outside the work environment.
Different from the so-called hard skills, soft skills involve emotions and intuition, both responsible for the ability to express and interpret the feelings of another person. Teachers need to be highly skilled in all these areas to be excellent in their profession.
For a teacher, it’s not just important to give a quality lecture; they also need to be able to transfer knowledge, skills and values at the same time. Soft skills for teachers are thus as important as their in-depth knowledge of a particular subject.
It is only through soft skills that a teacher can introduce creative and effective solutions to their students’ problems.
