Abstract

The learning environment plays an important role in the teaching of English for Specific Purposes, especially for the courses with the help of online courses.

Abiding by these two theories, the paper puts forward the specific principles and implementing approaches in the practice of constructing the learning environment in online course of Tourism English, in order to enhance the learning effectiveness of the learners.
