Sažetak
Regarding language as more than simply a system of rules, we need to distinguish between knowing various grammatical rules and being able to use the rules effectively and appropriately when communicating. This view has underpinned communicative language teaching which is a very important component of the English teaching material used with our students. It should be emphasized that communicative language teaching in the field of the hotel and tourism industry covers spoken as well written language for specific purposes.
Written language being characterised by well-formed sentences integrated into structured paragraphs differs sharply from spoken language consisting of short utterances with the loosely organised syntax, the use of non-specific words and phrases and the use of fillers such as "well", "oh" etc.
The English teaching material we are working with at our associate degree faculty tries to cover the needs of oral and written communication in the field of the hotel and tourism industry and because of that some of its parts and exercises are presented in this paper.
