Outline and objectives

English Application is an integrated 4 skills communication skills course with a focus on an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) or English for Specific Purposes (ESP) content area. This course will explore the history of tourism and its continued expansion in a constantly globalizing world. All third and fourth-year students in the Faculty of Intercultural Communication have some experience with International Travel and living in a Foreign Country through their Study Abroad experience, which is an Intercultural Communication Activity sometimes described as Cultural or Educational Tourism.

Goal

The goal of English Application is to give Post-SA students a forum to continue to use and enhance their English Communication skills. The theme of this English Application course is to explore how the world continues to become increasingly interconnected due to better communication systems and increasing opportunities for international travel. It will also examine how more people around the world are experiencing interactions with people from different countries and cultures, i.e., directly experiencing Intercultural Communication through tourism.
