Research on the Teaching Path of “Foreign Language + Tourism” in Universities under the Background of New Liberal Arts
Abstract
The construction of new liberal arts emphasizes interdisciplinary integration and the cultivation of compound talents, providing new opportunities for the collaborative development of foreign language majors and tourism majors in universities. The “foreign language + tourism” teaching model, by integrating the instrumental nature of language and the applied nature of tourism, aims to cultivate compound talents with both cross-cultural communication skills and practical capabilities in the tourism industry. Based on the background of new liberal arts, this paper analyzes the current status and challenges of “foreign language + tourism” teaching in universities, and proposes specific teaching paths from the dimensions of curriculum system reconstruction, teaching model innovation, faculty team optimization, and evaluation mechanism improvement, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for cultivating high-quality talents adapted to the high-quality development needs of the cultural and tourism industry.
