This study examines the role of English language proficiency in developing students soft skills in students enrolled in tourism study programs. Using a descriptive quantitative design with correlational design, the data were collected from 100 students enrolled in tourism courses using a structured questionnaire. The research indicated a moderate positive correlation between English competence and students soft skills, including communication, teamwork, and intercultural competence. The strongest correlation was between English competence and communication competence, highlighting the facilitating function of English as a medium for enhanced professional communication in the context of tourism. The study opines that learning English language as part of tourism education should not only focus on linguistic ability but also the acquisition of soft skills to make the students more employable. It provides suggestions for teachers, curriculum designers, and future researchers to integrate English education with soft skill training through communicative and experiential learning approaches.

The study concludes that a moderate positive correlation exists between English proficiency and soft skills among tourism students, particularly in communication, teamwork, and intercultural competence.These findings demonstrate that English proficiency is not merely a linguistic tool but a key facilitator of professional competencies in the tourism industry.Therefore, integrating communicative, task-based, and experiential learning approaches into English language courses within tourism education is crucial to equip students with both linguistic skills and the soft skills necessary for success in the tourism sector.

Future research should investigate the effectiveness of specific pedagogical interventions designed to explicitly integrate soft skill development into English language courses for tourism students. Furthermore, studies could explore the long-term impact of these integrated programs on graduates career trajectories and workplace performance. Another promising avenue for research involves examining the role of technology-enhanced learning environments, such as virtual reality simulations, in providing authentic practice opportunities for tourism students to develop and refine their English communication and intercultural skills. These investigations should consider the diverse learning needs of students and the specific demands of the evolving tourism industry, ultimately contributing to more effective and relevant educational programs that prepare students for successful careers in this dynamic field. By addressing these research gaps, we can further enhance the quality of tourism education and ensure that graduates are well-equipped to meet the challenges and opportunities of the global tourism market.
