Structural-functional model of practical information technologies application into English for tourism studying process. Empiric research was based on the topic “Global Tourism: International benefits along with Threats''.
So, the results are presented in the logic structural-functional model which consists of TEN parts. Each of them is aimed to apply information technologies resources:
1. Open the group discussion by paraphrasing the quotations below. Which one do you agree with?
Why?
- “Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” - Anthony Bourdain
- “Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” Ibn Battuta
- “We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” - Anais Nin
- “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” - Tim Cahill
- “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” - Gustave Flaubert
- “The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” - Henry David Thoreau
- “Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain
- “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” - Andre Gide
2. Show what you know. Study the following vocabulary giving extensive explanations; come up with statements including some of them as well as try to add couple of your own to this list. Consider the presented tips for using lexis (table1):
- Look carefully through the list to make sure you know the words and are confident that you can use them in your written or spoken English.
- Look up the meaning of any new words and put them in a sentence. If you're not sure your sentence is correct, post it in the comments section at the bottom of the page and we'll check it for you.
- Make a handwritten note of any new words, ideally in a separate note pad that you carry with you. Whenever you have a few minutes - waiting for a bus, just before going to sleep, waiting for the kettle to boil - take out the list and look through, reminding yourself of the word and the meaning.
- Improving your vocabulary for IELTS takes practice, so try to use the new word(s) in any suitable situation over the next few weeks - using the new word will help you remember it!
- Write the new word a number of times - writing down vocabulary will help you remember it and will also help with spelling.

Подорож - це завжди можливість відкрити щось нове та відпочити тілом й душею. Деякі люди народжуються з любов'ю до подорожей і проводять своє життя, шукаючи нові враження. Інші ж планують свої щорічні відпустки, вихідні, які проводять теж поза домівкою. Ваша подорож не обов'язково повинна бути тривалою. Провівши один день поза звичною атмосферою, досліджуючи нове місто, ви відкриєте в собі нові можливості, приховані вміння та наповнитесь незабутніми емоціями.
Відпочинок. Якщо ви перебуваєте далеко від щоденного стресу, ваше тіло і розум відпочиває. Окрім цього, ви отримуєте новий досвід та вчитесь тримати свої думки подалі від щоденних проблем. Завдяки цьому ви можете зосередитись на тому, що бачите - пам'ятки, запахи, звуки та інше. Через кілька днів ви відчуєте, що ваше тіло починає розслаблятись.

Accordingly, giving general characteristics to the structural-functional model, it should be noted that all ten elements are aimed to implement different internet resources in order to make English for Tourism learning process as effective and resultful as it is possible.
Discussion
Above all, the world faces many challenges, of which one of the most important is creating the tourism professionals of tomorrow. In this situation a special role is given to universities as the leading force in educating the younger generation who will be entering the labour market in the near future and will be responsible for developing industry and society. As they will be working in conditions no one can currently predict, it is especially important to promote the foreign language professional competence of future tourism area specialists as well as the generic competences that would enable them to learn fast, adapt to new circumstances and creatively develop their industry.
Thus, the role of universities is increasing all over the word. However, to strive for a common aim, university professors have to work hand-in-hand with the industry representatives thus contributing to the creation of new curricula and updating the existing ones in accordance with the needs of the industry and considering the requirements of the whole society. This can be done by conducting joint studies, and by exploring the needs and wishes of stakeholders in order to create updated curricula that could be successfully implemented in the next decade as well.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we may say that information technology is indivisible part of education in the twenty-first century. When used correctly in the classroom, technology can allow tourism area students to experience situations and circumstances that the students of 20 years ago could only dream about.
Again, through technology, books and figures can suddenly become alive and applicable to the real world. In addition, information technology provides an even greater avenue for interaction between teacher and students. At the English lesson's different videos, exercises, games, listening drills may be done. Information technology makes learning English available to a wider range of learners as well.
Especially, the concept of English for Tourism is multispectral and multi-strained. Its appearance has proved to be an apparent result and urgent necessity on the changes the science and society in general faced with due to drastic and global processes taken their place starting from the second half of the 20th century.
Future investigations prospects. To our mind, future investigations might be streamlined to deeply discover the answers to the following research questions:
- “What knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude are important to work in the tourism business?”
- ” How do employers and students evaluate student knowledge in tourism courses and how are skills and abilities developed?”
- “How can tourism curriculum be improved in order to enable students to acquire an up -to-date tourism education?”.
