Authors : Ben Redda Djamel . Gasmi Mustapha .

Abstract

There is a general observation that tour guides students at the High National School of Tourism in Algiers lack competence in oral performance in English. This problem pushes us to investigate a needs analysis study to find out the real reasons behind it. The purpose of this study is to examine the oral communicative competence needs of tour guides taking the example of the above mentioned institute. The objective is also to collect data in order to find out the sources of the problem, then to identify possible solutions to improve the oral communicative competence of the tour guides. To gather the data in this study, we rely on voice recording and students’ questionnaire. The results obtained from students show that they lack this skill because they do not have sessions of oral expression to make use of their English. Hence tour guides, are in need of more time of classroom practice in oral. This can be achieved through designing a syllabus that meets the students needs with serious objectives.
