  • Abstract
    The aim of this study is to develop a multimedia digital material for learning tourism English. The material can be conducted by video on demand (VOD) or through the Internet. The content of the material mainly includes introductory texts for ten historic and famous global sites and also includes eight sets of conversation with a focus on tourism. In the design of the whole material, five skills for learning English (listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation) are emphasized and an evaluation system is also included. In an e-learning era, we hope to establish our own ability and experiences to develop digital materials, which will help learners to augment their language skills and gain relevant abilities applicable to the job market.
