In line with ICAO language proficiency requirements for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers to achieve level 4 or above, Anglo-Continental has designed courses to assist those concerned in the attainment of this essential qualification.

 

Our Teaching Methodology Course for Teachers of Aviation English provides vital training for English language teachers in three essential areas: the latest Language Teaching Methodology, teaching Aviation English in the context of the ICAO standards, and the personal language development which results from working with expert teacher-trainers.

 

The objective of the training is to develop the course participants’ knowledge of Aviation English and English Language teaching skills within an aviation context, including a practical review of current methodology and classroom practice. Although an aviation background is an advantage, the course was developed to enable English language teachers who have little or no prior knowledge of aviation to teach Aviation English to pilots and air traffic controllers. As all lessons, including the General Teaching Methodology lessons, have an aviation context, every part of the course contributes towards expanding the trainees' Aviation English knowledge.
