随着改革开放的深入发展,特别是加入WTO以来,我国的国际交往与合作日益广泛,出入境旅游业务大幅增加,对旅游英语专业的人才需求不断攀升。而我国高等职业院校的旅游英语课程教学却存在着不少问题,因此,必须进行旅游英语课程教学改革,以便培养出满足社会需求的人才。 With the deepening of the reform and opening up, especially since China joined the WTO, China’s international exchanges and cooperation have become increasingly widespread. The travel business of inbound and outbound tourism has risen sharply, and the demand for tourism English professionals has been on the rise. However, there are still many problems in the teaching of tourism English in higher vocational colleges in our country. Therefore, we must reform the teaching of tourism English so as to train qualified personnel to meet the needs of society.
