| Popis: | The research investigated deans’ and directors’ attitudes toward and perceptions of the need for second language education and training in undergraduate hospitality and tourism courses in the United States and Europe and subsequently identified whether any differences exist in curricular programming efforts. The methodology utilized a mixed-methods approach that included (a) a qualitative assessment using content analysis of hospitality curricula from 4-year hospitality institutions and (b) a quantitative analysis of a questionnaire distributed online via the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education member listserv to U.S. and European hospitality and tourism school directors. The results highlight the disparity in approach between U.S. and European schools and emphasize the importance of second language education and training for successful student placement upon graduation. The regional differences suggest a need for a change in approach within the current U.S. educational system as it relates to the issue of 2nd language education and training |
