ESP Course Design and English For Tourist Industry

Abstract

The present course includes multiple lectures and tutorials that encompass the entire ESP curriculum for Master 1 level over a year. It is designed to enhance students' understanding of ESP and lead them towards a successful teaching process. During the course, students are required to expand their knowledge in ESP and play a role in designing their future ESP courses. This would certainly clarify the hands-on aspects of certain components of the course. The latter is structured around two major axes: First, ESP course design. Second, English for tourist Industry. Each one of the axes exposes a number of lectures and tutorials that serve the stated Course objectives.The initial axe is primarily based on theory and encompasses the first half of the academic year. It aims to highlight the key factors in designing an ESP course by looking at the essential elements of a thriving ESP course. The goal is to equip learners with the required skills for creating ESP courses and empower them to have a greater role in teaching successful ESP.The second semester focuses mainly on the second axe, which covers English for tourism (ETP), a branch of ESP. The focus is on addressing ETP definitions, the scope of its study, its features, and, crucially, how to instruct this form of ESP to ETP learners. Much discussion in this axe, particularly in the different tutorials, is about how to design effective lesson plans in the four language skills, vocabulary and grammar
