ABSTRACT

Since the reform and opening-up, with the rapid development of China's economic development, the political, economic, and cultural exchanges between China and the international community have become increasingly frequent. The tourism industry and the hotel industry have ushered in unprecedented opportunities for development. With the continuous development of the market, the market demand for the compound talents with strong foreign language proficiency and familiarity with hotel management and business is constantly increasing. Therefore, according to the specific requirements of the modern hotel industry for talents, it is imperative for the vocational colleges, which are the main bases for the hotel’s talent output, to reform the existing vocational English teaching. In order to be in line with international standards, the fluent oral English expression and good comprehensive quality have become the standards for hotel employers to measure talent. Higher vocational colleges shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting talents to large hotels. Hotel English is a professional course for hotel management majors in higher vocational colleges. Therefore, the quality of teaching will directly affect the quality of future hotel industry personnel.
