ABSTRACT

The development of tourism can not be separated from international exchanges and cooperation, so tourism practitioners are required not only to understand the profession, but also to be able to communicate with tourists from all over the world in English. Therefore, tourism English is taken as a required course for tourism management majors, which is the result of the internationalization of tourism. As a kind of ESP (English for Specific Purpose), this course has been offered in colleges and universities for many years, but there are many problems and shortcomings. Based on the actual situation of the curriculum, this paper points out the problems in practical teaching of tourism English curriculum, and puts forward some innovative ideas based on language services. It is hoped that the problems in teaching can be solved, so as to improve the quality of practical teaching and realize the goal of practical teaching of tourism English.
