Os empregadores relatam repetidamente a falta de competências interpessoais essenciais (pensamento crítico, inteligência emocional, comunicação eficaz...) como um dos maiores problemas que a sua força de trabalho enfrenta. Essas competências interpessoais tornam-se ainda mais importantes à medida que as empresas dependem cada vez mais da tecnologia e continuam a expandir-se internacionalmente. Os trabalhadores treinados nessas soft skills estão mais bem equipados para colaborar através das fronteiras transculturais e digitais, complementando assim as limitações da tecnologia e apoiando o papel da sua empresa no cenário global.
A Cambridge criou dois módulos digitais de Employability Skills para suprir as necessidades relacionadas a essas habilidades sociais e para o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional dos alunos. Cada módulo possui oito unidades, com carga
horária de uma hora cada, nas quais os professores podem integrar perfeitamente em seu programa para expandir o ensino do inglês e as habilidades abordadas nas ofertas de materiais para adultos e jovens adultos da Cambridge. Os módulos não apenas engajam e motivam os alunos, mas também os ajudam a comparar o inglês cotidiano com o inglês comercial na preparação para o mundo do trabalho.
As unidades de cada módulo estão alinhadas com as oito competências profissionais extraídas do Cambridge Life Competencies Framework Os dois módulos, Employability Skills: Workplace Essentials e Employability Skills, cobrem as mesmas oito competências essenciais, mas em dois níveis de proficiência diferentes. Como as unidades de cada módulo são independentes umas das outras, elas podem ser usadas de forma flexível para melhor atender ao seu curso específico e às suas necessidades instrucionais.
1 Collaboration and teamwork
Establishing ways of working together Managing the distribution of tasks
2 Communication Listening actively to others speaking Structuring information in spoken and written texts clearly
3 Innovation and problem solving
4 Critical thinking and decision making
5 Leadership and global citizenship
6 Professional development and management
Elaborating on and combining ideas Considering perspectives of different stakeholders
Analyzing information, identifying patterns and relationships
Supporting organizational initiatives to address global issues
Using a system to manage information and documentation
Evaluating options and recommendations to come to a decision
Demonstrating awareness of ethical issues related to an organization’s impact on others
Setting goals for professional development
7 Emotional intelligence Developing a positive attitude and work ethic Supporting others
8 Digital literacy
Sourcing and managing digital data, information, and content
Interacting appropriately in a digital workspace by demonstrating intercultural awareness and maintaining confidentiality
Cada unidade do módulo conduz os alunos por uma série de atividades estruturadas para desenvolver e aprimorar habilidades específicas e adquirir a competência alvo. Os vídeos, as atividades e as worksheets podem ser usados em configurações síncronas e assíncronas, dependendo das necessidades de professores e alunos.
Para ajudar a adequar as atividades de uma unidade dos módulos ao seu ambiente de aprendizagem específico, consulte as Teacher’s notes dos módulos Employability Skills: Workplace Essentials e Employability Skills; as Teacher’s Notes descrevem quais atividades podem ser realizadas individualmente e quais são eficazes para pares e grupos. Os vídeos de unidade sobre habilidades e
etiqueta no local de trabalho podem ser assistidos pelos alunos de forma independente ou em conjunto, numa sala de aula tradicional ou virtual, e funcionam como um trampolim para a discussão. Finalmente, as worksheets correspondentes oferecem atividades práticas para reforçar o inglês comercial fundamental e podem ser usadas de forma independente, como lição de casa, ou usadas em sala de aula.
Depois que os alunos concluírem com êxito uma unidade do módulo, os professores poderão emitir um certificado de conclusão de unidade e, ao final da oitava unidade, um “badge” digital para criar um sentimento de realização e aumentar a motivação dos alunos.
Para maximizar o potencial e o impacto desses módulos digitais, a Cambridge analisou as lições dos materiais Evolve Digital, Evolve, Empower, American Empower e Interchange, e as combinou com as unidades mais relevantes dos módulos Employability Skills e Employability Skills: Workplace Essentials.
Uma habilidade em comum vincula uma unidade do módulo a uma lição específica do material. Em muitos casos, a unidade do módulo pode funcionar efetivamente como um ponto culminante para uma unidade ou lição de um material, capacitando assim os alunos a aplicarem suas habilidades diárias de inglês em um ambiente profissional.
Observe que nem todas as unidades ou lições do seu material corresponderão, exatamente, a uma unidade dos módulos Employability Skills e Employability Skills: Workplace Essentials.
As seções “Trabalhando com o Evolve Digital” e “Trabalhando com outros materiais da Cambridge” (páginas 9 a 25) fornecem tabelas detalhadas que listam as habilidades comuns e as lições correspondentes. Consulte o exemplo na próxima página para ver como uma unidade do módulo Employability Skills pode complementar efetivamente uma lição do livro Evolve nível 3 por meio da habilidade comum de tomada de decisões.
