Abstract
The article explores the possibilities of interdisciplinary connections between teaching foreign languages and professional development course for future specialists of the tourism industry with the goal of improving the content of language teaching through introducing video materials. Based on extensive study of authentic professional video materials covering professional events in the field of tourism, such as conferences, summits, exhibits, presentations, advertising, promotion campaigns and other materials available on the Internet, a classification of the aforementioned videos is developed from the FLT perspective. The materials are further analyzed for their fitness for the purpose of preparing students to solve critical issues of the tourism industry in Ukraine, such as rendering the tourist infrastructure compliant with the international standards; promoting the Ukrainian tourism offers on the global level; efficient exploitation of state-of-the-art technologies used in the sphere of tourism; improving service quality. The article suggests exploiting the storyboard for the aforementioned purpose, along with the traditional approach of focusing on the language component. The algorithm of working with videos in the language classroom is enriched by a suggested set of pre-viewing, while-viewing and post-viewing tasks designed to build the professional mindset and provide stimulus for foreign language communication in the professional domain.
