Abstract

Abstract Being Spanish one of the most frequent languages of study, this paper aims to analyze, through a SWOT study, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Spanish for tourism textbooks so as to determine their present and future. In doing so, the authors of this manuscript have carried out a qualitative and quantitative study. After an online discussion with four experienced language teachers, we have elaborated an observation checklist that contributes to the field of study and could serve as a tool to analyse language textbooks. We have applied this observation checklist to analyse ten Spanish for tourism textbooks. Results show that textbooks in this field have been adapted to the new realities of language teaching but still fail to include important elements for the correct development of all the skills.

西班牙语旅游教材的SWOT分析及其现状与未来

摘要作为最常见的学习语言之一的西班牙语，本文旨在通过SWOT分析，分析西班牙语在旅游教材中的优势、劣势、机遇和威胁，以确定其现在和未来。为此，本文作者进行了定性和定量研究。在与四位经验丰富的语言教师进行在线讨论后，我们制定了一份观察清单，该清单有助于研究领域，并可作为分析语言教科书的工具。我们用这个观察清单分析了十本西班牙语旅游教材。结果表明，该领域的教科书已经适应了语言教学的新现实，但仍然没有包含正确发展所有技能的重要元素。
