Meeting Description:
The symposium, which will be one of the first of its kind in Europe, will bring together teachers and researchers of English for Tourism (EfT) from diverse national and international contexts in order to initiate a sustained academic discourse on the teaching of EfT. The symposium will consist of a series of talks on a wide range of themes related to the teaching of EfT, including: theoretical concepts, needs analyses, teaching approaches and methodological frameworks, current programs and projects, and specific teaching methods. These talks will serve as a platform for an open panel discussion during which all participants may ask questions and share their own perspectives and experiences. The symposium will be of interest to language teachers and subject teachers teaching in tourism programs at all levels and in all contexts (e.g. high school, university, professional development, and community programs), as well as interested stakeholders in tourism.Symposium on Teaching English for Tourism
