Bu çalışmanın amacı öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının lisans düzeyinde turizm eğitimi veren programlarda uygulanan yabancı dil öğretim modelleri hakkındaki algılarını, beklentilerini ve önerilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Đlgili literatürün taranması, yazarların akademisyen meslektaşlarının görüşlerinin alınması ve yazarların deneyimlerine dayanarak bir anket geliştirilmiş ve öğrencilere yüz yüze görüşerek uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin "yoğunlaştırılmış yabancı dil öğretim modelini" turizm lisans programlarında en etkili ve arzulanan model olduğunu düşündüklerini göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin, öğrencisi oldukları programların verimliliği hakkındaki algıları bu programlarda uygulanan yabancı dil eğitim sistemine göre değişmektedir.
