Foreign Language II: Basic French for Hospitality Management and Tourism II was written to aid students in developing their oral and written skills in the French language within the framework of professional activities in other domains of the tourism industry—travel, transportation, and entertainment. It will also enable students to acquire new lexicons and further hone the four macro skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and linguistic competence they acquired from the first textbook. Emphasis will be more on practical conversations in the workplace, useful dialogues in common situations, and oral reading exercises in some chapters. Both local and overseas working scenarios will be tackled in this textbook. Furthermore, the contents will be helpful in attracting tourists from French-speaking countries and promoting the Philippine tourism industry.
