2.- Rationale
English III is a compulsory subject taught in the first semester of the third year of the
Degree in Protocol and Events Management. The subject belongs to the ‘Applied
Languages’ group, which is included in the ‘Instrumental’ module of the degree.
In agreement with the descriptors approved, this subject mainly focuses on the use of
the English language within the realm of the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences
and exhibitions) and business travel environments at an upper-intermediate level (B2+
CEFL). It is divided into three parts, namely ‘Human resources in the MICE sector’ and
‘MICE’, which are meant to address two broad areas of the sector.
Class activities and materials will place special emphasis on the development of
communicative skills, thus enabling the learner to interact confidently and
independently in business tourism environments.
