Using Interactive Methods and Approaches in Teaching English for Tourism

This article considers some stages in the development of English for tourism and some recent approaches to teaching English to tourism students. Changes in the labor market led to changes in the students’ language needs as well as in the pedagogy of teaching English to tourism students.

This requires our graduates to master constantly new communicative skills demanded by the labor market.
