Description
The purposes of this study are follows: (1) to construct hospitality word lists including tourism, hotel, and airline businesses; and (2) to create the online lexis lessons to enhance the hospitality vocabulary knowledge of the learners. The five criteria included frequency, range, lexical profiling, keyword analysis, and expert consultations were used to create three-word lists from the corpus, with a total size of 52,079,960 tokens. The results showed that the tourism, hotel, airline business word lists contained 342, 274, and 245 words, respectively. The questionnaires were distributed to 90 participants, who were asked to choose 125 words from each list in order to design the online lexis lessons. The dependent t-test inferential statistics were used to measure the vocabulary knowledge in increments. The efficiency of the online learning materials was assessed using a standard of 90/90. The dependent t-test inferential statistic results showed that hospitality vocabulary knowledge of participants was improved after learning autonomously and using online lexis lessons. The online lexis lessons on the standard value of tourism, hotel, and the airline business were 82.50/100, 64.89/100, and 82.44/100, consecutively. The results from the questionnaires also showed that most participants thought the lessons were convenient, useful, and easily understood. The learners expressed that using the program helped them to be more responsible, better at time management, and to expand their vocabulary with regard to hospitality.
