Structure of the Coursebook

- a vocabulary lesson
- a grammar lesson
- a Professional skills lesson
- a Case study or tourism-related game.
KEY VOCABULARY
The vocabulary lessons introduce and practise many words and expressions required in the tourism industry introduced either through a reading text or a listening. By the end of the lesson you will be better able to use the specialist vocabulary in appropriate tourism contexts. At the end of each unit there is a Key Word box that provides a selection of words and phrases from the unit and a reference to the Mini-dictionary on the DVD-ROM.
KEY GRAMMAR
In the grammar lessons key aspects of grammar that are essential for progress at this level are presented within an authentic tourism context. These lessons include clear explanations and activities designed to help you understand and use the language effectively. By the end of the lesson you will be able to use the grammar more confidently. For additional support there is a comprehensive Grammar reference at the back of the Coursebook.
PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
The Professional skills lessons provide you with the opportunity to learn and practise effective interpersonal and business skills which are an essential job requirement in the travel and tourism industries. You will learn professional skills ranging from dealing with customer enquiries and meeting clients’ needs to preparing a guided tour or a presentation.
CASE STUDIES
Each unit ends with a Case study linked to the unit’s tourism theme. The Case studies are based on realistic tourism issues or situations and are designed to motivate and actively engage you in seeking solutions. They use the language and professional skills which you have acquired while working through the unit and involve you in discussing the issues and recommending solutions through active group work.
Language skills
Speaking skills: Each unit provides you with a range of speaking activities. The pairwork tasks are designed to provide you with further opportunities to communicate in realistic and motivating tourism-related contexts. The Case studies require you to engage in extended communication about topical issues in the tourism industry. At each level further speaking practice is available in a tourism-related board game.
Listening skills: Each unit contains several listening tasks developed around topics related to the travel industry. A range of British, American and other international native and non-native speakers are featured helping you understand how people speak English in different parts of the world. Audio scripts of the recordings are available at the back of the Coursebook.
Reading practice: Reading texts feature regularly in the units providing you with a variety of texts and topics that you are likely to encounter in a tourism context.
Writing practice: In the writing sections you will write real texts related to the tourism workplace such as emails, reports, tour itineraries, brochure descriptions, writing the minutes of a meeting. At each level there are also writing tasks to help you get a job in tourism. Models of text types are available in the Writing Bank at the back of the Coursebook.
