The Transversal Competency No One Is Talking About
Do We Actually Foster Intrapersonal Skills?
The application of new approaches with the goal of improving one’s services and quality of work is a common practice observed in any professional sphere. English Language Teaching is no exception. If we were to count the innovations rendered in our field, one would be baffled by the plethora of techniques available. It is therefore logical for an educator to miss out on practices that would facilitate the delivery of a lesson in a more efficient manner. Transversal competencies have been deemed a requisite in all educational structures including that of our respected discipline. Critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, are but a few of the desired skills employers deem necessary in today’s competitive workforce. However, one element which is overshadowed most often than not, is that of Intrapersonal development.

When teaching a class, one must bear in mind a plethora of elements associated with cultural and social diversity. The special educational needs and abilities of each individual student must also be taken into account. Modern textbooks cater to a general audience and must be adapted accordingly to provide an inclusive lesson which can be accessible to all. Special thanks to the Foreign Languages Forum for organizing this prestigious event at the Royal Olympic Hotel. Registration is free and the attendees will receive a special gift I will be offering at the end of the presentation. Looking forward to seeing you all. Happy summer!
