Abstract (english)
Starting from the fact that the European Commission has described knowledge of foreign languages as one of the key competencies in the labour market, and taking into account Croatian orientation towards tourism, this paper describes the influence of students’ individual attitudes and their perception of the importance of foreign language acquisition. The aim of this paper is to analyse students’ perception of tourism regarding second foreign language as one of the obligatory courses. The research is based on an anonymous online survey examining opinions and attitudes by the students of Tourism at the VERN’ University of Applied Sciences. The results show that, although some of the students did not even have a basic foreign language knowledge, they have acquired certain linguistic competencies through language classes taken during their studies. The analysis also shows that the students appreciate language learning through a combination of general and business-related linguistic content, with a focus on conversation and discussion. Along with a selection of current and interesting topics, this has had a high impact on their motivation for language learning. Finally, based on their opinions and survey results, there is room for improvement, as evident from a number of suggestions and recommendations with the aim of improving the teaching of the obligatory second language in Tourism Studies.
