English for Hospitality is for learners who need English to work in the hospitality industry. It is suitable for staff working in a hotel front office or students finishing training. It is also suitable for people working in any tourism related role.
The course has 30 lessons of about 45 mins duration each. It focuses on functional skills and builds specific vocabulary for hospitality. Learners improve their oral skills through regular practice aimed at developing international intelligibility. They get practice with appropriate language in a variety of common hotel scenarios. They develop confidence to deal with visitors from around the world. Each lesson prepares learners to communicate with guests, visitors, and tourists by setting out a typical situation that front office staff deal with every day.
