Abstract

DaFT (German as a foreign language for tourism) is taught in formal or academic vocational contexts and thus primarily serves to deal with and coordinate professional processes and actions on the part of the employees, depending on their operational function in tourism. The goal of the DaFT lesson is ultimately the promotion of a cross-language professional ability to act and a job-related communicative competence as register competence in international or intercultural contexts or contexts. In this respect, DaFT is an interaction language that is intended to prepare tourism students for real interaction situations in their professional lives with speakers from different cultures (of German). For this reason, we assume that receptive skills such as listening comprehension and especially oral speech production should be the main focus of the DaFT lessons. The online basic course (MOOC) German for Tourism at the University of the Balearic Islands originated in this teaching and learning context and aims to help tourism students and the autonomous German learners who are active in the tourism sector to develop and review them Skills to help. The development of a DaFT test project based on these skills and language skills required in the MOOC is now the focus of our research project. Aspects of its testing will be the core of our contribution.
