“…These will lead to successfully communicating problems, listening actively to the perspectives of others, and coming up with mutually beneficial solutions together (Mehta & Jha, 2019). These also add to a more harmonious workplace and better connections (Khusainova et al, 2019). It has also been found that effective communication is critical for resolving workplace issues and addressing challenges (Tajuddin et al, 2022).…”

This review focuses on the communication skills of TVET hospitality graduates in the postpandemic era. This review paper examines the importance and method of communication skills in the hospitality industry to comprehend their roles in order to understand current demands from employers in the workplace. By examining the literature, this paper seeks to expand the existing knowledge of communication skills for the hotel industry in Malaysia. The hospitality industry has faced various crises over the past decade, including economic downturns, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters, but the scale and magnitude of the COVID-19 crisis have been unparalleled. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has almost recovered, communication skills in the hospitality industry have become increasingly important in the wake of the pandemic to survive. For that reason, a study has been conducted to delve into the specific communication skills that are highly valued by employers in the current context. By understanding these skills, TVET hospitality graduates aspiring to work in the hospitality industry can better prepare themselves to meet the demands of the post-pandemic era. This review has extensively utilised the secondary sources of data collected from recent studies by researchers from academic journals, articles, and websites, with the time frame of the current studies ranging from 2019 to 2023. A qualitative technique, namely a content analysis, has been employed to analyse the collected articles.The search results indicate that the hospitality industry has experienced significant transformations due to the pandemic. As a result, communication skills have become indispensable for job searching, collaboration, effective customer service, conflict resolution, leadership, professional growth, and continuous learning. The authors offer insights and a summary of the supported literature on communication skills needed in the hospitality industry during the post-pandemic period, along with future research suggestions in this field.

“…Teams formed by Asian engineers may not put forth points clearly because of a lack of ability to explain lucidly (Pearson, 2017). They believe avoiding complicated transactions is easier for maintaining a healthy relationship (Khusainova et al, 2019). Therefore, it is essential for future engineers to learn effective communication skills.…”

“…The complexities of high-context team communication present several challenges (Messner, 2008). Apart from this, engineers are considered to be good in mathematics and need improvement in social and communication skills (Pearson, 2017;Khusainova et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to understand the team communication skill among students with engineering background.Design/methodology/approachLabour market offers more employment to those who have better social skills than those who fair less on these skills. It is pertinent to integrate these skills among engineers. In the study, a Qual-quant-Qual platform was created to develop social skill andragogy for engineers from India. Involving 132 engineers, the authors gathered qualitative and quantitative data to understand their perspective on communication and the emergent factors of team communication skill.FindingsThe qualitative study supports the view that despite theoretical awareness, the actions may differ. The factor analysis of the data revealed five important factors of interpersonal communication. The study offers six utilities in support of andragogy.Originality/valueThe study offers a platform to engineers to internalize and reflect differences in order for the real learning to take place, and it also offers space to faculty members to simulate and offer relevant interventions.

Educating Engineers for Future Industrial Revolutions

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nowadays, virtual reality (VR) systems gain popularity in various applications ranging from space to entertainment. Education took up this challenge thus promoting virtual reality into the learning environment, first of all, in teaching science and engineering. Courses in humanities, however, are often ignored, though they have a great potential of applying VR techniques to develop students’ soft skills, intercultural communication among them. To bridge this gap, the paper aims at analyzing the demand for VR, the experience in virtual reality and readiness of Master’s degree engineering students for taking courses with immersion into virtual reality, using the example of intercultural communication courses. The authors analyzed recent publications in research journals and conference proceedings on the use of VR tools in higher education paying special attention to engineering curricula. The authors also conducted a survey among 87 MSc students focusing on the degree to which students are familiar with VR and ready to study through immersion into VR. The overall analysis of the survey results revealed that the students have a limited experience of using VR in any applications but most of them are ready for this experience in education. Based on these interpretations of the survey results, the authors made an attempt to develop a draft course to introduce elements of VR into EFL teaching for engineering students. Further research can be done to disseminate the initial experience of VR applications and to update the course developed.
