English For Hospitality and Tourism in Higher Education Second Edition Student's Book

English for Tourism and Hospitality is a skills-based course designed specifically for students of tourism and hospitality who are about to enter English-medium tertiary-level studies. It provides carefully graded practice of the key academic skills that all students need, such as listening to lectures and speaking in seminars. It also equips students with the specialist vocabulary they need for study in a tourism and hospitality faculty. Extensive listening exercises come from tourism and hospitality lectures, which together with the reading texts cover the core areas of tourism and hospitality studies.

In the 2nd Edition, the course has been updated by the authors to reflect recent tourism and hospitality research and practice. The lectures, articles and graphics have been revised to incorporate new sources from the literature. The skills syllabus has also been updated, with new material on developing online study skills and more structured practice of key spoken language.
