Walaupun masih terjadi banyak kesalahan dalam hal tata bahasa (grammar) dan pengucapan (pronunciation) Bahasa Inggris, siswa mampu menunjukkan usaha untuk memahami materi. Akan tetapi, mayoritas siswa masih belum familiar dengan kosakata-kosakata Bahasa Inggris tertentu dan spesifik berkaitan dengan kepariwisataan, sehingga perlu pendampingan untuk mengenal jenis kosakata-kosakata tersebut. Di akhir kegiatan, siswa diharapkan mendapatkan pengalaman belajar yang akan menjadi salah satu modal bagi mereka untuk ikut bersaing di dunia kerja yang secara global menuntut kecakapan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa asing.
