Abstract

The knowledge of the English language is essential in any university degree, especially in Tourism and Business Studies. During courses 2007-08 and 2008-2009 we have carried out a pilot experience in several subjects of both degrees in order that students understand the importance of English as a basic element in their professional future. We have used the platform Moodle to design an experience where the student has developed different activities classified in several learning levels. The objective is that step by step they acquire, assimilate and define in English the most important concepts related to the academic contents of their subjects.
