Course Objectives
This course enables students to use language and communication skills in different cultural
contexts, familiarizes them with contemporary trends of writing in English, employs a great
range of communicative activities including a case study approach, integrates technology in
writing, and critically boosts up their confidence in their professional life on hospitality and
tourism sectors.
Course Description
This course is designed as a sequel to the course prescribed in the first semester. It consists of
two major components: cross-cultural communication strategies and English for professional
writing. The first part provides students with fundamental concepts of cross-cultural
communication that pave the ground for their future careers in the hospitality and tourism
industries in the global context. The contents included in this part will enhance students’
knowledge through the case studies approach, information gaps, interviews, and role play to
encourage them to think critically, solve problems, and develop their oral communication skills.
The activities are supplied with cultural information from many countries so that students can
compare their own ideas and traditions to those of people from other countries. The second part
incorporates managerial writing designed to help students communicate effectively and
efficiently. Good oral and written communication skills are the most essential skills required for
hospitality practitioners at different positions and levels. The course will equip the students with
oral and written skills from routine messages to international correspondences and presentations.
The students are expected to actively participate in the classroom teaching learning activities
individually, in pairs, and in groups. Upon the completion of the course, the students are largely
expected to compete in tourism and hospitality management in national and international
settings.
