Features: This book starts from the basic methods of English learning—listening and speaking, employing various techniques such as recording, reading, acting, writing, case analysis, and Chinese-English translation to comprehensively improve students' language proficiency. Hotel English is a highly practical course, and the author incorporates numerous case analyses and classroom discussions in teaching. This approach not only cultivates students' creative thinking and problem-solving skills but also ensures they understand not only "what" but also "why." Additionally, advanced hotel management theories from abroad are introduced in teaching, combined with the actual conditions of China's hotel industry. Emphasis is placed on fostering students' service awareness, broadening their horizons, and teaching them to observe and solve problems from an internationally recognized standard.
