Summary/Abstract: In a globalised world with more opportunities to travel and work, knowledge of English has become a must along with the knowledge of at least one, preferably two other foreign languages. Hence, the language courses in English for tourism at tertiary level have to put greater emphasis on the acquisition of the integrated specialised English knowledge and skills providing for competitiveness on the labour market and for a successful career in tourism. Therefore, the major academic aspects of a modern course in English for students of tourism include syllabus optimisation, effective tasks and activities based on students’ interest in interactivity and social media, enhanced motivation, encouraged self-direction, development of critical thinking and increased usage of soft skills and creativity. These aspects contribute to the improved student performance and course effectiveness and ensure the satisfaction of all stakeholders in the sector.
