“…The practice allowed them to carry out an autonomous exercise of both learning and research. Formative research considers the learning process as a knowledge-building process which according to Naseem and Fleming (2018) "Students get access to up-to-date knowledge which fosters students' intellectual development and provides them an opportunity to get an insight into the research process (e.g. planning, data collection methods, analysis, and ethics)" (p. 228).…”

Introduction: The furtherance of a university research culture is essential to promote processes of innovation and improvement in academic praxis. Objective: Therefore, this research aimed to promote formative research skills in a group of fifty-one students at a UPTC campus, through the project-based learning (PBL) methodology in an English language teaching (ELT) course. Methodology: Given the qualitative nature of this analysis, we selected a case study method. We used surveys, focus group interviews, and teacher journals as instruments to collect data. Likewise, we utilized grounded theory to analyze and conceptualize the information collected. Results: The PBL methodology significantly supported and improved the research skills of the students. Through the different activities, they also increased their interest and awareness of the need for research in their undergraduate programs. In addition, the students furthered their English speaking and writing skills, as the reports and presentations were conducted in this language. Conclusions: The promotion of a research culture, from the ELT, not only generates knowledge for development, internationalization, and professional qualification but also highlights the importance and role of higher education in society.

“…Professional education, like engineering, is already "designed to meet the needs of a particular occupation so that all students in these programmes acquire the necessary skills throughout their studies to perform their day-to-day job responsibilities effectively." (Naseem & Fleming 2018) Training provided in such a professional education allows students to engage with their future workplace (Naseem & Fleming 2018). This opportunity builds, in one way or another, students' skills as independent learners, including their ability to think critically, an important employability skill (Allen et al 2011).…”

Teaching soft skills to higher education students is an essential step towards the integration of their competence into the workplace context. However, the nature of the curriculum students of humanities have questions its efficiency to help them acquire these essential skills. In this context, this paper explores the role of teaching "Introduction to Cultural Studies," as a case study, to the students of the English Department. Undeniably, Soft skills are referred to as transferrable skills that can be acquired via the experience of employers. Still, many graduates do not have the same opportunity to have adequate experience that can qualify them to have a job in the first place. In this sense, this examines to what extent the assigned curriculum of the English Department can prepare a student for a productive integration into the job market.
