The major attention is paid to such soft skills as collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problemsolving and the ways they can be developed at ESP classes in technical HEIs. Some exercises based on student-centred approach aimed to form these important skills are mentioned. To assess the effectiveness of the teaching methods applied through the module devoted to communication in academic and professional environments, a survey was undertaken among students of the first year. Its results show that innovative methods including role plays, team work and brain-storming are generally perceived by students as less appealing and efficient than more traditional ones such as reading or translation. It is concluded that more efforts are needed to introduce student-centred practices for developing soft skills.
