Teaching and Learning Strategies in Language Courses for Adult Learners in Tourism

The knowledge of foreign languages is the primary prerequisite for the communication in tourism. It concerns especially German as the most important language in this branch. Learning German in Croatian schools has been neglected and its knowledge does not satisfy the needs of the tourist industry. For this reason many companies organize for their employees language courses. This paper discusses principles associated with adult learning, some strategies which might be useful for teaching German as a foreign language in tourism and teaching materials designed according to these principles and strategies.
