Background
Awareness of the importance of language in aviation communication has grown steadily since the implementation of the ICAO Language Proficiency Requirements (LPRs) for pilots and ATCOs. With the need to raise language proficiency standards to ensure safe and efficient operations now well accepted, there is growing interest in developing aviation English proficiency across a broader range of aviation professions, including;
- pilots,
- air traffic controllers,
- cabin crew,
- engineering personnel,
- airport and other ground staff, and,
- people in training to join the industry.
Multi-lingual and multi-cultural teams are playing key roles in supporting organisations and companies as they rebuild and restructure the aviation industry in the transition to post-COVID world. Developing awareness of skills in English, as a common language for communicating in a range of contexts during these ongoing developments is of paramount importance. Training all aviation personnel to communicate effectively is vital in maintaining a safe and expeditious operating environment.
Providing focused training in specific domains requires an awareness of the technical language and needs of learners, as well as pedagogy to deliver the training. Input and collaboration from subject matter and language experts leads to materials and curriculum that target learners’ real-world needs.
Participants
This conference aims to bring together stakeholders from around the world to share their experiences in developing and delivering aviation English training across a range of aviation sectors. The event will focus on sharing practical experiences, knowledge and skills to enable participants to reflect and apply ideas for their own training contexts.
Sessions
Presentations, panel discussions and practical hands-on workshop sessions will cover a range of topics including:
- conducting a needs analysis,
- curriculum and materials development,
- the skills required for effective curriculum development,
- learning activity types,
- approaches to hybrid and blended learning,
- e-Learning and classroom-based course materials,
- blending operational and language skills development,
- specific purpose teaching pedagogy,
- inclusion of other areas such as CRM and SMS in language training, and,
- developing wider stakeholder awareness.
Call for Papers
We invite submissions for presentations and practical workshops from trainers, researchers, curriculum designers, training providers and other stakeholders involved in or affected by issues related to language and communication training.
