Effective use of all workplace competencies begins with good communication skills. As the global language of business and research, it is widely accepted that the ability to communicate effectively in English is now a basic employability skill. With covid-19 continuing to reshape the future of how and where we work, the latest research suggests that 21st century skills have never been more valued by employers. What does this mean for the teaching of English? In this session, we will explore the washback of a renewed focus on 21st century skills into a new wave of digital-first learning solutions. We will share some digital tools and approaches that teachers can use to embed the development, and measurement, of these skills in an ELT environment, and showcase how they can align with the ultimate goal - helping learners kickstart their dream career.
