This course equips students with the language skills and industry knowledge to excel in sustainable tourism and hospitality. Students will develop proficiency in tourism vocabulary and communication for hotels, travel agencies, and tour guiding, which consider SDG topics like responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) and climate action (SDG 13). The curriculum explores real-world scenarios such as handling eco-friendly reservations, recommending culturally sensitive tours, and promoting sustainable practices. Through interactive methods, including simulations, group discussions, and project work, students will build confidence in interacting with international travelers while considering the impact of tourism on communities (SDG 11). Assessment will be a combination of practical tasks and reflective writing, ensuring students cannot only apply their language skills but also critically analyze their effectiveness in a hospitality context. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to communicate professionally and contribute to a more sustainable tourism and hospitality industry.
