Anglo-Continental’s ICAO 291
courses are designed to assist those concerned
in meeting the ICAO language proficiency
requirements.
COURSE
CONTENT |
Foundation Module,
including General Aviation English
The Foundation Module provides general English
tuition, adopting an integrated skills approach.
The course concentrates on structure and usage,
oral communication, vocabulary development and
listening and reading comprehension. It also
introduces English in a general aviation context
in preparation for the final phase of the
training.
Level 4 Module, including English for the
Working Aviation Environment
The Level 4 Module, aiming at ICAO Level 4,
covers general English and intensive tuition in
English for the working aviation environment,
including R/T phraseology. The aim of this
module is to improve trainees’ communicative
competence with particular reference to the six
ICAO language proficiency descriptors -
pronunciation, structure, fluency, vocabulary,
comprehension and interaction. Course
participants will develop their listening skills
with authentic recordings and practise using the
functional language and vocabulary required in
both standard and non-standard aviation
situations.
Duration of training
It is difficult to predict how long an
individual trainee may require to reach a
specified level. The rate of language
acquisition differs with each individual, and
depends on their entry level of English,
linguistic ability and their mother tongue. We
recommend a minimum course duration of 4 weeks
for all trainees.

NOTES
When enrolling on the above courses,
trainees should complete our Aviation English
Pre-Entry Test which will assist us in advising
which Course Module is appropriate for their
level and how much training they are likely to
need to achieve their learning objectives.
ICAO Level 3, Pre-Operational, covers a wide
range of ability in terms of language
competence. The Anglo-Continental levels of
English included (Pre-Intermediate to High
Intermediate) refer to a trainee’s overall
language competence.
Any trainee enrolled on the
Foundation Module or the Level 4 Module, whose
English is found to be below the level specified
for the course, will automatically be
transferred to a General Intensive Course
(Course G-1.30) or the Foundation Module, as
appropriate. The Sponsors will be informed
immediately in order that a revised study plan
may be agreed.
Trainees at ICAO Level 2 who
wish to follow the Foundation Module are advised
to enrol on a General Intensive Course (Course
G-1.30) in order to progress to the appropriate
entry level.
Anglo-Continental’s Test of English for
Aviation Personnel (TEAP) may be administered,
at an extra cost of £ 90, on completion of
training to identify the trainee’s current
level, based on the ICAO Proficiency Rating
Scale.
Progress Monitoring and Reporting
Our teachers work closely with the Aviation Training
Coordinator and the Director of Studies in the
monitoring of each individual's progress.
Progress
tests are conducted at appropriate intervals
throughout the course, and trainees are graded
according to the
ICAO 6-point scale.
Detailed reports are normally submitted to the
trainees' sponsors or employers at the end of
the
course - or earlier if a trainee's performance gives
cause for concern. In longer programmes
(18 weeks
or more) interim progress reports may be provided at
intervals agreed with
the Sponsor.
Immersion in the English-speaking environment
If it can be arranged, training in an
English-speaking country makes learning faster, more
enjoyable and more effective. Listening to English
and speaking practice can continue round the clock,
and learning something of the culture that lies
behind the language greatly helps.
Anglo-Continental's comprehensive programme of
excursions, sports and leisure activities adds
another dimension to the trainees' courses, and
films, lectures and other educational activities
still further increase the speed and breadth of
learning.
