Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching and learning methods will include lectures, interactive tutorials, class debates and discussions on the concepts of tourism. The lectures will address the academic theories and critical issues surrounding tourism scholarship pertinent to achieving the learning outcomes. The tutorials will connect theory to practice by consolidating subject learning and applying this to contemporary cases. The use of case studies will also enable you to explore and discuss, as a class and in small groupings, how the concept of the tourism system and consumer behaviour apply within the international tourism context (LO1 and LO2). The use of tourism videos, amongst other electronic resources will enable you to engage in critical debates about the impacts of tourism and the current issues surrounding the sustainable development of the industry (LO3, LO4 and LO5).. The use of experienced guest lecturers will also strengthen the link between theory and industry practice . You are expected to actively engage in the tutorials as well as participate in group discussions and peer activities. The use of informal class presentations will develop student confidence, verbal skills and the ability to present your ideas to an audience of your peers. The assessments will require you to search for and synthesise academic and industry information, while informal group discussions will encourage team working and social skills. Furthermore, you are encouraged to make proactive use of the self-directed learning time by engaging with the suggested readings, doing independent research and reflecting on your own tourism experiences to supplement the timetabled activities.

You will undertake informal presentations during class discussions for which feedback will be provided. You will have the opportunity to submit drafts of your essays and reports for which you will receive formative feedback two weeks prior to the deadline to identify areas for improvement in advance of the summative assessment deadline.
