This year like previous ones ( see the post from last year ), I asked my students to prepare a tourist presentation for their final project.

I hope you had a great summer. I wanted to start this new academic year opening our own YouTube channel called "English for Tourism" where all my students´ videos and work will be gathered so that anybody interested in English for Tourism can use them for educational purposes. The channel is still under construction as plenty more videos will be added. This is our channel http://www.youtube.com/user/Englishfortourism . You can also find the videos on the bottom right hand side of this blog. I would like to thank all my students for their work and collaboration as well as all the other people who participated in their work.
