Abstract

The museum-based approach to EFL teaching has been successfully applied in education in the U.K. Regarding the model's high achievements, we transferred it to EFL learning in the Bulgarian context, experimenting with sixty-four Tourism students from Burgas University "Prof. Asen Zlatarov". It proved to facilitate the learners' progress in English for Tourism and raise their motivation to develop occupationally, building a bridge between the classroom and global communication, addressing target, national, international cross-cultural issues. The topics encompassed Bulgarian and British history, traditions, customs; broadened the learners' horizons, views, interests and engagement, deepened their understanding and respect to others, improved their knowledge. The experiment used digital museum software, allowing visiting exhibits in British and Bulgarian museums, attracting the students' interest in cross-culturalism, artefacts, and historical heritage.
