Addressing the workshop, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Dinh Vu deliberated on the rationale and importance of organizing the event. He conveyed his gratitude, stating, "Thank you for dedicating your time to participate in this seminar where we engage in professional discussions. While the two soft skills subjects are widely integrated, students hold a positive impression of the subjects. Nevertheless, certain limitations exist in the teaching methods. Hence, this workshop serves as a platform to share, exchange experiences, and subsequently implement and apply improvements to the curriculum."

Assoc.Prof. Dr. Le Dinh Vu spoke at the seminar.

During the seminar, Ms. Nguyen Thi Chau presented the evolution of the soft skills teaching process and its accomplishments: "Over the past 6 years, we have implemented the Lecture Improvement Cycle (PDCA) for soft skills modules. Thanks to PDCA, our lecturers have crafted lectures using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method to meet outcome standards effectively. Over the last three years, more than 200 soft skills classes have embraced the PBL approach, yielding positive results each year."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Chau spoke at the seminar.

The seminar focused on the significance of nurturing teamwork and planning skills among students. It explored recommendations and enhancements in teaching methods, including the incorporation of practical exercises to reinforce teamwork and planning skills. Additionally, the seminar addressed the integration of more applications and tools into the teaching process to align with the development of soft skills and international integration.

Following extensive discussions, educators gained valuable insights into advanced teaching methods, absorbing improvements, suggestions, and solutions. Consequently, these insights are set to be disseminated and effectively applied in the upcoming semesters.
