Currently, at Tra Vinh University as well as other universities in Vietnam, lecturers mostly focus on professional teaching without paying much attention to training soft skills for students such as teamworking, problem solving, interpersonal communication skills, ... In addition, students are only interested in learning how to become an engineer, an accountant or a doctor without training soft skills or just studying in compulsory form, and lack of depth investment. Lacking soft skills that lead the graduates facing a lot of trouble in their  professional life. In the higher education system, graduates can have a good practice in career, can design a machine, can have good programming skill, can develop a model of growth economy but they can hardlycommunicate, work in groups or solve problems effectively. For solving this problem, the Department of Information Technology has developed a curriculum based on the CDIO approach, but there are still many issues to be improved. In this paper, the authors introduce solutions to integrate soft skills in professional teaching, specifically in   teaching specialized subjects at the Department of Information Technology, School of Engineering and Technology, Tra Vinh University.

On January 15, 2014, Md. Mahmudul Hasan, assistant professor in the Departmentof English Language and Literature at the International Islamic UniversityMalaysia, addressed an audience at the IIIT headquarters in Herndon,VA. He spoke on how Muslims have tended to associate English studies withwestern value systems, secularism, and anti-Islamic practices.He opened his talk with some background information. He was educatedat a madrassa and then chose to study western (English) literature, much tohis father’s disappointment – he firmly believed that his son, whom he hadalways envisaged as an Islamic scholar, would come out of the university asa secularist, an atheist, or an agnostic. Although this may not be the case today,at his father’s time people could actually see their university-enrolled childrenundergo some changes or adopt the various western lifestyles uncritically atthe expense of their traditional Islamic upbringing.Reflecting further on the context that had given rise to this attitude, Hasanpointed out the tendency at that time, and based solidly upon the Subcontinent’scolonial experience, to associate English literature studies with bothcolonialism and western Christendom. In response to this, contemporaryscholars of postcolonial studies employ the twin strategies of abrogation andappropriation to dismantle the original intent behind introducing English literarystudies and, simultaneously, to create platforms of self-assertion and resistance.Those who support the Islamization of English literary studiespropose a similar approach to English literature in order to counterbalance theun-Islamic cultural influences as well as to present the Islamic worldviews inrelation to the life-worlds that these literary texts are reputed to promote.He said that many Muslims find it difficult to reconcile “Islam” and “Englishliterature,” for how can there be any relationship between them? This isnot as illogical as it may seem, however, for the British introduced Englishliterature into the Subcontinent long before they introduced it into the UnitedKingdom itself. It was offered in the former in 1830, but only ninety yearslater in the latter. In fact, according to Hasan, the subject itself has a colonialbackground, for it, along with Christian missionary activity, was designed to ...

The research paper proposes a skills gap methodology that utilized the respondent experiences in the internship program to measure the importance of the Information Technology (IT) skills gap as perceived by IT students and the industry. The questionnaires were formulated based on previous studies,  however,  was slightly modified, validated and pilot tested  to fit into the needs of the research.  Respondents  of this study were IT students enrolled in internship while industry respondents were the supervisors of the IT students in their respective company.  Internship IT students were selected since they have a strong background on the needs of the company based on their internship experience. The findings revealed that teamwork and communication skills are very important soft skills to be possessed by IT graduates  as perceived by the respondents.  Further, results reveal that there was no significant difference in the perception of the respondents in terms of the  importance of soft skills. However, this finding contradicts the results in the case of hard skills were in there was a big range of disagreement on the importance of hard skills.   IT students perceived that hard skills were very important while industry perceived hard skills were somewhat important. It is recognized that soft  skills are very important communication tool for a customer oriented industry and  that  it is essential to enhance the communication skills of IT students for their future employment. The study suggests that the university should target improvements of soft skills and specific personality development component in the curriculum.

This research article highlights the temperament, inference, scope, and motives of code-mixing in Pakistani English works. One novel from Pakistani English novels namely, An American Brat by Bapsi Sidhwa, and one short story namely, The Escape by Qaisra Shehraz are being selected as an illustration of this reading. In this novel and short story, the writers have already dealt with the characteristics of postcolonialism. English language and literature pierced into the privileged civilizations of the sub-continent, after the end of British Imperialism. Pakistani writers in English are the best interpreter of the post-colonial communal language. In this study, I have hit upon code-mixing in English works written by Pakistani authors to a bigger echelon. These works are paragons of arts and the unbelievable mixture of rhetorical and fictitious study. In these works, the writers have not abased the confined diversities. They have tinted the value of Pakistani English in order to achieve the chatty desires of native people. These borrowings from the native languages are used to fill the lexical fissures of ideological thoughts. The reason of these borrowings is not to represent the English as a substandard assortment. Through the utilization of native words, we conclude that the significance of native languages has been tinted to question mark the dialect as well. The words of daily use also have an area of research for English people without having any substitute in English. That’s why in English literature innovative practices and ideas of code-mixing have been employed.

This essay examines the political uses to which Behan puts language in his autobiographical fiction, Borstal Boy, both as an instrument of domination and a means of liberation. Identifying Standard English language and literature as important components of the British imperial project, Behan creates, as a linguistic alternative, ‘englishes’, a composite language in which differences of geography, class, age, education, and occupation create a demotic speech of great variability and expressive force. In so doing, Behan sabotages the cultural assumptions and justifications for colonial exploitation embedded and validated in Standard English literature and language.
