The development of new training courses is closely linked to the dynamically changing needs of society. So, with the development of the tourism business, society began to need specialists in intercultural communication, who were supposed to provide a more constructive dialogue based on shared cultural values.

Creating a training course, focus on the implementation of the goals put forward by society, the state. Based on the tasks set for the course, you can easily determine its content.

Since you are creating a new course, you are unlikely to find ready-made methodological developments and, especially, detailed lesson plans. To develop a course integrated into the educational system, familiarize yourself with the methodological base of related disciplines. Identify which techniques, methods, and educational technologies may suit your course to accomplish its objectives.

After conducting an interdisciplinary analysis, start planning. Highlight the main sections of the course. Divide the sections on the main topics. Break the topics into key questions so that you have time to consider one question in one lecture.

5

Proceed from the need to provide a maximum of useful information in a limited time, choose only the most necessary. Highlight in your course the theoretical part, which will include lectures and the practical part, which will include seminars and laboratory work.

6

At the next stage of work, make up a training complex. Study all the literature that you will recommend to students for new material. If the available literature is not enough, make a proposal to write a methodological manual that includes all the necessary aspects. Analyze the sources of information on the Internet, often students prefer to draw information from there.

At the final stage, prepare visual aids, presentations, documentary photographs, individual assignments and handouts. And as early as possible, draw up questions for the test or exam for this course and give them to students so that during the classes they have the opportunity to clarify everything that is not clear to them.
