The development of soft skills is considered vitally important for the professionals in the Food Industry Engineering field. Employers in the food industry seek graduates who are prepared for work and possess strong teamwork skills. One effective strategy for students to practice and enhance their teamwork skills is through team-based assignments. In this study, three different team-based tasks were assigned to students in the three Food Industry Engineering courses. These tasks included the preparation of a Kahoot! questionnaire, a video presentation, and a traditional written report, all related to specific topics covered in the courses. The teamwork skills of the students were evaluated using VALUE rubrics. The acceptability of these three learning methodologies was also measured. The results indicated that the use of Kahoot! and student video presentations resulted in higher teamwork scores compared to the traditional methodology (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the uses of Kahoot! and video presentation in any of the courses (P>0.05). The level of student satisfaction, regarding the general acceptance of Kahoot! and video presentation tools, as well as the acquisition of teamwork skills, was very positive. These findings undoubtedly encourage faculty to incorporate these new teaching methodologies in Food Industry Engineering courses.

“…Therefore, there is a range of problems contemporary graduates are faced with. Difficulties in finding necessary information, a poor level of communication, a lack of motivation, a low level of time management skills and sometimes an inability to cope with the task properly are not all the problems which can be listed [3,4]. Moreover, future workers are not able to handle unexpected conflicts and, therefore, troubles in team management and team building might occur.…”

Nowadays, the curriculum of higher education is mainly based on hard skills development, although soft skills are of critical importance for successful academic and professional performance. Consequently, the purpose of the article is to describe the possible methods of mastering the second-year students’ soft skills within the scope of a foreign language course, using interactive methods. The aim of the research was to elaborate on three types of interactive problem-based tasks and assessment criteria which allow us to monitor the progress of soft skills such as problem solving, teamwork, leadership, time management and technology skills, and analytical and creative thinking. Both tasks and criteria were uploaded onto an online educational platform. The case study method, which was considered to be the main monitoring tool, turned out to be effective in the pedagogical experiment where the students collaborated both online and offline. The experiment demonstrated a positive trend in students’ soft skills improvement alongside their foreign language communication skills. Moreover, statistical analyses showed the effectiveness of the system created to master soft skills. The proposed system for digital monitoring of soft skills development can be useful for teaching personnel who want to make the educational process more interactive and productive for advancing students’ soft skills.

A significant number of studies are devoted to the psychological and social adaptation of students to the educational process at university. This research contributes to the solution of the problem of first-year students’ academic performance in the framework of studying a foreign language by working with monologue speaking tasks. The study offers an analysis of the improvement of academic performance in this particular type of language activity. The study took place at Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University, Russia, and involved 274 first-year students enrolled in undergraduate programs. Mixed qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to collect and analyse data for the study. The research included the qualitative content analysis of monologue speaking tasks. Results of the study make it possible to conclude that the use of monologue speaking tasks paired with peer interaction and peer assessment can improve first-year students’ English-speaking skills.
