MAPPING OF DEUTSCH FÜR TOURISMUS TEACHING MATERIAL BASED ON TRACER STUDY RESULTS

Abstract

Abstract: The development of Learning Devices of  The Deutsch für Tourismus course requires an appropriate need analysis, so that the material taught is useful for the working lives of the students. Therefore this development study was preceded by a need analysis conducted in July, by carrying out a tracer study in five travel graduate users and 10 German-speaking tour guides. In order to capture the opinions of the  respondents, a questionnaire was distributed to both the travel managers and tour guides. While the tracer study results are analyzed using percentage techniques. Based on the results of the tracer study, it is found out that the competence of students of the German Language Education Study Program at Unimed is good enough in terms of German language skills. But there are other aspects that have not been mastered, namely cross-cultural competence; and the mastery of other foreign languages is minimal in the context of "greetings". Another thing that has not been mastered is the history of certain regions which are tourist attractions. The appearance, expression and lack of dexterity also need to be considered. Based on this conclusion, basic competencies and teaching materials were rearranged in the Deutsch für Tourismus course.
