Abstract : This research aims to study English language features of audio tour descriptions in English, comparing to English
features of written descriptions of tourist attraction, focusing on the palaces. The researchers collected data from 20 audio
scripts from the websites providing audio tour guides about palaces and 20 descriptions of palaces in Wikipedia. A total of 40
texts were analyzed automatically by the online program named Coh-Metrix to distinguish the differences of the language used
to describe the palaces between the two different modes of communication. The researcher used the T-test to compare mean
statistics to determine the differences of the independent variables. The results show the distinguishing features of each type of
data analyzed, which reflects the differences of communication channels between writing and speaking. This study also found
some features used in audio tour description to demonstrate informal speech and to create interaction between speakers.
However, the use of English features of written texts can also be found in audio tour descriptions, suggesting a combination of
written features in audio tour descriptions.
