    Exploring ESOL teachers' perspectives on the language learning experiences, challenges, and motivations of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK
    (El Gruyter, 2023-06-01) Chamorro Galán, María Gloria; Garrido Hornos, María del Carmen; Vazquez Amador, María; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3030-5409; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3861-1491
    The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of ESOL teachers on the language learning experiences, challenges, and motivations that refugees and asylum seekers have when they learn the language of the host country. This information was collected using an online questionnaire, which was completed by 72 teachers from different institutions throughout the UK teaching English to refugees and asylum seekers. The results revealed teachers’ perspectives on the main language learning challenges (e.g. lack of first language literacy) and motivations (e.g. accessing education/jobs) experienced by these learners, as well as the main challenges faced (e.g. lack of equipment) and techniques used (e.g. tailored materials/methods) by our respondents. The present paper presents these findings and any correlations found between the teachers’ responses and their background or their students’ profile, and discusses some implications for language teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers to support refugee students’ language learning more successfully.

    ESP for Tourism: Does It Meet Employers’ Needs and Prepare Students for the Workplace?
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Chamorro Galán, María Gloria; Vázquez Amador, María; Garrido Hornos, María del Carmen
    This chapter focuses on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) for tourism and investigates whether the content and skills taught to students enrolled in tourism degrees in Spain actually prepare them for the workplace and meet the needs of their future employers. In order to do this, the ESP courses offered by all Spanish universities with an undergraduate degree in tourism were reviewed and the main topics, functions, and skills were extracted. With the information gathered, an online questionnaire was designed and sent to different tourism companies in Spain, including accommodation businesses, cultural and active tourism companies, travel and event organisation agencies, and tourist information centres. In this questionnaire, employers were asked to answer a series of questions relating to the use of English in their companies and assessing how prepared tourism students are to perform the different functions highlighted in the ESP syllabi in the workplace. The results from this survey will be presented and discussed with the aim of informing ESP curriculum and materials developers, as well as teachers, to tailor courses, materials, and lessons that prepare tourism students to graduate with an English competence that allows them to successfully perform in their future careers.
