Abstract
The study delves into the pertinent literature on English for Specific Purpose (ESP) in Hotel Services and the existing research and educational practices in this domain. Examining relevant literature, encompassing scientific articles and empirical studies yields insights into students’ language needs, teachers’ challenges, and teachers’ perceptions of ESP when teaching in Hotel Services. These results are significant for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers, as they can enhance ESP education and equip students for successful careers in the hotel industry. Moreover, the study could pave the way for further research on ESP education in other specialized fields, building on the findings of this study.
