Abstract

This paper represents an investigation to which extent employees in the field of tourism and hospitality industry value the importance of foreign languages, especially the language for specific purposes in their everyday work. The aim of the survey conducted on two groups with altogether eighty participants, was to analyse attitudes for the importance of the foreign language in their everyday work as well as the use and accessibility of various media in their work.
The results of the research are compared to the ones from our previous investigation in the motivation of students from FTHM for foreign language learning to which the present one is the logical continuation.
