The main purpose of this course is to help undergraduate students in Tourism and Geography Studies improve their English level so that they can communicate effectively in their professional field. The course also aims to familiarize them with the specialized vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and abbreviations commonly used in the travel and tourism industry. Through a wide variety of simulated practical tourism and geography related tasks, students will increase their fluency and confidence in using English in different professional contexts. Given the nature of Tourism and Geography Studies, this course also seeks to raise students’ intercultural awareness, which has become a major aspect to work in international professional contexts and in a globalized world.
Course level:
• At the end of the course, students will reach an intermediate level (B1) of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR).
• At the beginning of the course, students will take an “Online Placement Test” to test their English level.
