TEACHING ENGLISH FOR TOURISM – BRIDGING RESEARCH AND PRAXIS

Abstract

This book, published in 2020, forms part of series The Routledge Research in Language Education, which to date counts with 66 publication within the topic of Language Education. It is organized into two parts with distinct purposes: while the first one is concentrated on the theory and inspects concepts, the second one explores the praxis of teaching and learning of English for Tourism (EfT). Included are brief biographies of nine contributors to the book, of whom two are also the editors of the volume, showing that each of them counts with experience in teaching English in different settings and for varied purposes. Combined with their expertise in areas related to linguistics, sociocultural contexts, intercultural competence, language instructions and more, the readers are getting a point of view from the practitioners working in the field.
