With the rapid development of the tourism industry
in China, the need to train more and more competent tour
guides has become more urgent than ever. These tour
guides require a sophisticated level of spoken English,
but, at present, their English-speaking proficiency is far
from satisfactory. It is this problem that has inspired
the writing of this paper. The paper attempts to search
for appropriate teaching techniques that would be useful
for improving the speaking skills of Chinese tour guide
students.
The paper is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1
will outline the problem being discussed. Chapter 2 then
aims to suggest solutions to the problem stated in Chapter i
After discussion of relevant issues, it is decided that
Mim-Mem, Dialogue and Role-playing might be appropriate
techniques for teaching the speaking skills to Chinese
tour guide students. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 deal with the
Mim-Mem Technique, the Dialogue Technique and the Roleplaying
Technique respectively. After an examination of
the three suggested techniques, Chapter 6 discusses
material preparation and provides practical suggestions
for classroom applications. The paper should be regarded
as an initial base for further discussion and research.
