Why English class in Tourism Management?

Can you think of reasons you might use English in your future job/career.

Ultimate goal after 2 years

English level B2++/C1-

Learning line.

Lesson goals

Students will have gained a broad understanding in

1:   their individual competence in the English language

2:   the content of this module

3:  acquired new language/communication skills in English

But first:  get organised!

• Decide where you will store (save) all digital content
• Make a folder on your main device for English 1.1
• 1.1 = year 1, term 1
• Decide, also, how you will store (save) the work you do with pen and paper

Make sure they save/file their self-evaluation Spiderweb 1.

Bring paper and pen to class

The benefits of taking notes by hand are scientifically proven to improve cognitive learning.

It improves attention and recall in the brain.

It forces the brain to engage more in the task at hand.

It assists memory, especially for kinesthetic learners.

It leads to better understanding and retention of the subject.

Organisation of this course

• English - is assessed individually (as are Tourism Behaviour,  Written Communications and Marketing)
• English is directly related to your Project, Tourism & Marketing
• 6 x 90 minutes, weeks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 
• 84 hours: lessons + self-study/preparation
• Preparation is key!   Why?

Group assignment = project.

Feedback

• Feedback: it's a team effort
• self-evaluation
• peer feedback - in class
• expert feedback: conditions
• For expert feedback you meet deadlines, come to class, you participate and you prepare!

ABSOLUTELY! Great portions of the lessons will be focused on improving the work you prepared for the lesson and asking questions based on it. None of this is possible if you have no work prepared
