This course is designed to assist foreign students in preparing to participate in a hospitality and travel business atmosphere in which the English language is an important means of communication. The goal of the course is to provide language practice based upon readings and discussions which are pertinent to the hospitality and tourism industries.  This will form the basis for activities in text analysis, classification, writing, oral and electronic communication, and the development and use of vocabulary. Included in the course are high-interest, interactive situations based upon actual business applications and internships at local nearby hotels.
