  1. 專業英文閱讀與討論 Professional Readings & Discussion

  2. Hospitality Topics (Sub-Fields):   (a) hotel / accommodation   (b) restaurant / catering / F&B   (c) travel / tourism   (d) airline / transportation   (e) event planning / MICE   (f) leisure / recreation   (g) marketing / promotion

  3. Reading Source: Hospitality articles (Mostly from hospitality magazines) Article Length: 2-4 pages Article Rhetorical Patterns: (a) “Easier”: Descriptive or promotional (may have a narrative or a personal touch) (b) “Deeper”: Trend and/or critical approach (especially noting a change or a challenge)

  4. Introduction to the Reading: whole-class (1) Presentation of Basics (Content/Org) Discussions: small-groups, and sharing (2) Personal Connection (3) Understanding / Digging Deeper (4) Extension / Application

  5. Introduction to the Reading: (1) Presentation of Basics (Content/Org) (a) Provide a lead-in to the general topic (additional visuals are OK, but keep it short) (b) Point out the basic organization pattern (c) Summarize the key points of the article (d) Highlight words/sections that are particularly important and/or difficult (e) Check comprehension—“Mini-Quiz”

  6. Discussions: small-groups Characteristics of groups  Small: 3-5 members—enough to have multiple ideas, but not too many for people to feel OK about “hiding.”  Variety: Not always with the people sitting around you.

  7. Discussions: small-groups Characteristics of groups  Member roles: (a) Leader: Keeps the discussion on-topic (b) Note-keeper: Keeps track of the main points of what’s been said—helpful for when it is time to share with the class. (c) Spokesperson: When it’s time to share…

  8. Discussion Goals: (2) Personal Connection  Start off with questions that are focused on personal experiences—but keep the topic related to the one in the article.  Try to make these questions based on the specific article content: if the discussion can happen without consulting the article at all, it’s not a reading discussion.

  9. Discussion Goals: (3) Understanding / Digging Deeper  The discussions based on these questions must be focused on specific content from the articles—preferably about points which are controversial, or which can be seen as controversial when you investigate them.  The point is to understand the details of the article more fully, and to be a more critical reader.

  10. Discussion Goals: (4) Extension/Application  Examples of these: (a) Applying the ideas to other places/people, especially by trying to see how these might fit into a Taiwanese context (b) Make/design your own {hotel / tour / etc} (c) Hold a debate on a controversial aspect of the article (its details or its topic)

  11. Work that needs to be done: (1) Group work 1st half of semester (a) Choose a topic, and find relevant articles 2nd half of semester (b) Give presentations to the class (c) Design discussion questions and application activities, and run these in small groups (2) Reading Notebook—Become more familiar with the variety out there.
