Abstract

Under the background of the rapid development of tourism industry and the change of demand for professional talents, this article discusses the problem of the disconnection between tourism English course and professional demand in higher vocational colleges (HVC). Through theoretical research, current situation analysis and other methods, this article deeply analyzes the existing content composition of tourism English course in HVC and the gap between it and professional demand, and puts forward a reconstruction idea based on the principle of professional ability, practicality and foresight, determining the course objectives, integrating content modules and integrating industry characteristics based on the analysis of professional demand. The course content is reconstructed from basic English ability, tourism professional English and intercultural communication module, and the implementation path is given from three aspects: teaching method reform, teacher team construction and teaching resources construction. The purpose of this study is to optimize the tourism English course in HVC, improve students' professional ability and make them better adapt to the professional needs of the tourism industry.
