Teaching writing skills in English for tourism by employing travel writingPotočnik Topler, Jasna (Avtor) ESPlanguagetourismwriting skillstravel writingThis chapter examines teaching writing skills in English for Tourism by employing travel writing, which is not only a tool for teaching linguistic skills, but also encourages students to develop research interests and storytelling techniques. When travel writing was introduced to undergraduate and MA students during the English lessons the role of languages in Tourism, Tourism Discourse and Literary Tourism was also discussed with them. As part of the English assignment, students were asked to produce their own travel writing texts, which were discussed, reviewed by their teacher, re-written and – in the case of Master students – at the final stage, also published as an example of a teaching and learning experiment. Thus, this chapter presents travel writing as a successful method of developing travel writing skills inside the English for Specific Purposes classes.Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba20212024-01-25 13:46:59Znanstveno delo86881UDK: 37.091.3:81:338.48OceCobissID: 89067011COBISS_ID: 90900227DOI: 10.18690/978-961-286-549-8sl
