From Grand Tours to Package Tours. Thomas Cook in Italy.

Descrizione

Special edition for English Language Learning

Inspired by the principles of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), this volume is especially designed for students studying Enslish as part of their degree courses in Tourism and related studies. The contents are taken from an original piece of historical research by the author about the transformation of tourism in the nineteenth century through a case study on Thomas Cook’s enterprise in Italy (subsequently translated into Italian and published by ESI with the title La Rivoluzione Turistica) and are accompanied by a linguistic commentary which focusses on specialist language items including textual analysis, grammatical and lexical usage, as well as tasks that encourage students to develop subject matter through independent research. The book aims to be a resource for both teachers and students of English at university level, providing authentic subject content with a focus on language.
