The project is a creative way of finishing off the section on
Tourism. It will allow the learners to reinforce their language and
translation skills gained during this project as well as allowing
them to use their now enhanced knowledge of tourism in Glasgow. The
learners will create a mini phrase book containing basic yet
important structures to help foreign visitors coming to Glasgow.
Although the learners would decide the content of the phrase book,
it is suggested that it should contain sections on booking a hotel
room, eating out, changing money, going to the doctors etc. The
learners will market their phrase book to outside agencies within
the tourist sector i.e. hotels, tourist information offices,
airline companies, etc.
