Abstract

The use of foreign languages in the hospitality industry is very important considering the development of globalization and the increasing need for cross-country communication. This article aims to analyze the implementation of the use and assess the effectiveness of the use of foreign languages in the hospitality department of STIEPAR YAPARI Bandung so that challenges and obstacles in learning and application can be identified which will affect the skills and readiness of students in the Hospitality Industry. The research method used in this study is through a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey questionnaire to students majoring in Hospitality. The results showed that foreign languages have been integrated in the hospitality study program, the use of foreign languages is implemented through practice-based learning, hotel service simulations, and conversation habituation in foreign languages. However, challenges such as lack of student motivation and limited practice environment are still encountered. The implications of this study suggest the need to increase the intensity of language practice with more interactive teaching methods, as well as the provision of facilities that support foreign language learning, in order to improve students' language skills in the field of hospitality and prepare them to face the demands of the global hospitality industry.
