Overview
\"Many students today have to grapple with the questions, What am I very good at? What are my strengths and how can I use them for a better life? These are central questions for us as learners, employees, family members, friends and thriving individuals in general. An inquiry into our skills helps us discover our potentialities and the talents we need in order to create a fulfilling life. As a result, it assists us in successfully finding the right role for ourselves in society. This book is intended to take learners on a reflective skill-investigative journey, in which speaking and writing about skills is both self-exploratory and fun. Chapter I deals with personal skills, otherwise known as personal traits. Chapter 2 deals with generic skills, which refer to the skills one can easily transfer from one field of work or life to another. Chapter 3 aims at connecting these skills with jobs, in which learners are also encouraged to do research into a third type of skills - knowledge-based skills. Chapter 4 introduces some skills essential for the future, and the final chapter places skills into literary contexts which sheds a new light on the conversation about skills. This book offers a more reflective approach to thinking and talking about skills. Learners will become well-equipped with knowledge and understanding of a set of skills they can ascribe to themselves and others. This will, consequently, prepare them for a world of work that is very specific in its skillset requirements. The book aims at helping students think critically about skills both orally and in writing. It also includes activities intended to expand vocabulary, which underlies successful communication\"-- Provided by publisher.
