Exploring English for Tourism http://sarolta.edublogs.org Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:37:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Moving http://sarolta.edublogs.org/2009/09/29/moving/ http://sarolta.edublogs.org/2009/09/29/moving/#comments Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:37:14 +0000 sarolta http://sarolta.edublogs.org/?p=319 Hi there,

I was offered an opportunity to move my blog to the college server – where my website is also located. I’ve been trying out this new location for some time now and it seems that things work fine.  So time has come to make the next step.

I’m moving the contents of this blog to the new location at http://www3.turistica.si/sarolta/wp/

If you enjoyed following this blog please update your links and come along to the new location. See you there! :-)

P.S.

I’m grateful to Edublogs for all their support these past years. Without James, Sue and the rest of the team this path would have been a lot harder. Take care.

The Connected Traveler

The Connected Traveler is a website worth visiting as you can find blog posts, reviews, guides to destinations and comments of travellers, podcasts and videos about travel (by owner Russell Johnson) and ethical travel and much more.

How about staying connected and telling what you think about the site as a comment below? Would you like to discuss anything from this website during our classes?

Some of you may still be on holiday, others perhaps are planning another holiday somewhere sometime in September. You may be interested in the following articles. They are good reads so I hope you’ll enjoy them.

Two exciting sites for students of tourism interested in travel agency business.

Travolution offers news, blog posts, in-depth analysis, case studies and more – topics that budding travel agents will definitely find interesting and valuable.

TW Academy is actually owned by the same company as Travolution (and the Travel Weekly), but its mission is different. They offer free online courses for travel agents. The 60 courses they offer are organized based on the destination they cover. You want to learn what matters if you want to be good travel agents? This is the site for you.

Here’s a website for you. It’s called English conversations. The authors, Aaron Campbell and Mike White, have created a series of podcasts featuring conversations in English. The topics range from food, music, time, people and travel to other cultural topics connected with Japan, India and Thailand. You can both listen to the recordings and read the transcript, which helps a lot with more difficult bits of language. Some grammatical points are also covered. The stories are most interesting and can be searched through categories and tags. I warmly recommend you the site.

Well, you can also follow Trazzler Buzz to learn what travellers say about museums, attractions, cities, festivals, the latest deals etc. round the world.

This is not a site that I recommend because it helps you learn English. It’s actually a website where you can see the various languages of the world in use. You can always try and guess what is meant by those mysterious words in languages that you don’t speak. It’s fun! :-)

Take care.

I’ve added a widget to this blog. If you double click an word in this blog, Answer.com will provide the explanation of that word together with its pronunciation. I hope this’ll help.

It belongs to María Luisa Ochoa from Spain. She’s an English teacher and keeps an excellent blog for her students of tourism. She regularly posts about topics that students of tourism from all over the world will find useful.

Recently she has also developed a resource website.

I strongly recommend both. :-)
