How AI can contribute to promote employability in Tourism students

Abstract

Teacher's digital competence is a referred to knowledge and skills associated to the use of technology, applied to educational contexts to achieve one or more objectives. Innovative technologies are revolutionizing all aspects of our everyday life as well as our working environment, and especially in a distance learning model, Artificial Intelligence has the chance to mark considerable changes. Oral skills are extremely important for Tourism students when applying for a job and in thie chapter we focus on three different websites which are highly useful for our students when facing a job interview. The first one is Interviewsbyai, the second one Interview warmup and the third one was Pram (Practice Makes Perfect). After having used the three on them in the class with 35 students, all of them perceived a great improvement in their interview skills. Therefore, nowadays we as teachers need to take advantage of the opportunities and challenges of AI and to consider the power of AI and its beneficial use in the class of English for Tourism.
