Travel Teaching

When considering TESOL programs tailored for teaching English for travel and tourism, several key components should be prioritized. These programs should include specialized courses focusing on vocabulary related to travel, hospitality, and tourism, as well as cultural aspects of the destinations typically visited by tourists. Additionally, practical teaching strategies for language skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing in real-world travel scenarios should be emphasized. Furthermore, incorporating technology and resources relevant to the travel industry can enhance the effectiveness of these programs. Several TESOL programs stand out for their focus on preparing educators to teach English specifically for travel and tourism purposes. The University of Cambridge offers...  [Read more]

  Teaching English abroad is a great way to travel the world and experience other peoples and cultures. As English teachers it is important that we take the time to learn about the countries we choose to live and work in not only to show respect to our hosts but also to help our students to learn more productively. Understanding the cultural or social reasons behind why people in different countries behave or react in particular ways can help us to prepare better lessons and activities for our students and develop better relationships with our colleagues. Being aware of the subtle social cues that exist in any society can mean the difference between a truly rewarding experience and one that you wish never to repeat. When considering regions such as Latin America it can be tempting...  [Read more]

Creating Materials In my experience of teaching English, I think the most fun I and my students had was with created materials, or realia, used in conjunction with the planned lessons in the text. As a photographer, I had a number of images that could be printed out and used in games, for vocabulary lessons and also as a basis for dialogues created by the students themselves. An article about realia by Stefan Chiarantano (2005) describes using plastic fruit, toy animals, Christmas cards, maps and other items to introduce new vocabulary to his young students. Cultural items, such as the Christmas cards, can also be used to teach students about customs in other nations. They are often very curious about other customs and their very curiosity will improve their attention spans and help them...  [Read more]
