  • 摘要:AbstractInformation and communication technologies are an inseparable part of current university education. The authors have been teaching students of Management of Travel and Tourism at the University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The Management of Travel and Tourism students need to be aware of currently used specialized vocabulary in their field of study. Since 2010, their teachers have been using in their language classes video clips from the Internet. Watching video clips and studying the language used in them improves their command of currently used English for tourism. The purpose of this contribution is to inform about an upcoming study of the language used in video clips focusing on travel and tourism, whose transcripts will be analyzed by means of the British National Corpus. The method used is document analysis, more specifically word frequency analysis. So far, the authors have used about 80 English-language video clips on travel and tourism in their classes. The number of words used in them reaches about 40,000. The outcome of this research should be a list of the most frequently used words, phrases and idioms as they appear in the above mentioned video clips. The benefits of this research should include the basis for teaching travel and tourism vocabulary, grammar structures, or stylistic variations. Another outcome will be a specialized dictionary of professional collocations and terms in the field of travel and tourism.
