Enhancing IT professionals' communication skills through interactive training methods

Abstract

The paper deals with the issue of enhancing communication skills among IT professionals through interactive training methods. The rapid evolution of IT education, with its constantly changing content, emerging knowledge sectors, and evolving patterns of communication and interaction, necessitates urgent attention to this matter. To identify the specific communication needs across various domains, the researchers have analyzed regulations, guidelines, and certification frameworks from European nations and Ukraine. Extensive research has been conducted on interactive teaching concepts, activities, and their advantages. The study emphasizes that interactive teaching techniques can effectively facilitate the instruction of future IT workers in both general and specialized areas. The main characteristics of several interactive teaching techniques are described. To enhance the communication abilities of IT professionals, the study suggests incorporating project-based learning, brainstorming, gamification, and discussion, with a particular emphasis on English language instruction in higher education institutions. It is crucial to keep a careful balance between interactive techniques and strategic planning to foster a suitable level of comprehension in both language use and real-world interactions.
