Teaching English for Tourism: Bridging Research and Praxis: Routledge Research in Language Education

Editat de Michael Ennis, Gina Petrie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 iul 2019
Teaching English for Tourism initiates a sustained academic discussion on the teaching and learning of English to tourism professionals, or to students who aspire to build a career in the tourism industry. Responding to a gap in the field, this is the first book of its kind to explore the implications of research in English for tourism (EfT) within the field of English for specific purposes.
This edited volume brings together teachers and researchers of EfT from diverse national and institutional contexts, focusing on connecting current research in EfT contexts to classroom implications. It considers a wide range of themes related to the teaching of EfT, including theoretical concepts, methodological frameworks, and specific teaching methods. The book explores topics relating to the impact of changing technologies, the need for cultural understanding, and support for writing development, among others.
Teaching English for Tourism explores this growing area of English for specific purposes and allows for researchers and practitioners to share their findings in an academic context. This unique book is ideal reading for researchers, post-graduate students, and professionals working in the fields of English language teaching and learning.

Recenzii

"TESOL ESP project leaders, Michael Ennis and Gina Petrie, have created an exciting volume that explores English for tourism (EfT) from multiple perspectives. This valuable guide for researchers and practitioners initially raises awareness of issues in EfT such as power imbalance and varieties of English and moves on to approaches and methods for equipping learners with the communication skills that they will need for tourism. The volume is filled with interesting and useful examples of EfT research and program development that bring together language, policy, technology, culture, and stakeholders in a way that stimulates the imagination and inspires creativity."
Kevin Knight, Associate Professor, Department of International Communication, Kanda University of International Studies, Japan. Former Chair, ESP Interest Section, TESOL International.
"This topical collection of papers is an invaluable compendium offering pedagogic and methodological guidance to ESP, EAP and EOP lecturers and tutors involved in teaching international students on Tourism and Hospitality university courses. This has already been done successfully by world HE market leaders in Tourism (e.g., Surrey University and its twinned Campus in SII at DUFE, Dalian, China). Now the launch of such courses to international students is being planned for Transnational Education in Nigeria (e.g., in Lagos). The publication will be of interest to both established practitioners as well as to teachers new to this sub-area of ESP."
Mark Krzanowski, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in English for Specific Academic Purposes, Dept of Electronic and Computer Engineering, Brunel University London, UK.
"The eight chapters in this volume are representative of the main applicative trends characterizing the study of English for Tourism in diverse university contexts, providing new insights into teaching approaches and a guide to best practices that will prove useful for the current generation of researchers, teachers, and students in today’s globalized reality of tourism sciences."
Laura Tommaso, Assistant Professor of English Language and Culture, University of Molise, Italy
"The book is broken into two main parts with the first part dedicated to the theory around EfT and the second part focused on practical cases of teaching EfT in the tertiary classroom... The greatest strength of Teaching English for Tourism is the tightly-held connection to theory."
Laura McNabb, Professional and Academic English: Journal of the IATEFL ESP SIG
"The book makes for an interesting read that will be of particular interest to both researchers and
practitioners in the related fields of English of Tourism and English for Tourism. The experiences recounted provide considerable food for thought particularly for EfT practitioners and the selected bibliography provided at the end of the volume will also be of interest to many. It is divided both geographically and thematically providing a wealth of reading both for EoT and EfT."
Sharon Hartle, Iperstoria
