Abstract:

Taking readers step-by-step through the major issues surrounding the use of
English in the global aviation industry, this book provides a clear
introduction to turning research into practice in the field of English for
Specific Purposes (ESP), specifically Aviation English, and a valuable case
study of applied linguistics in action. With both cutting-edge research and
evidence-based practice, the critical role of English in aviation is explored
across a variety of contexts, including the national and global policies
impacting training and language assessment for pilots, air-traffic
controllers, ground staff, and students. 

"English in Global Aviation" teaches readers how to apply linguistic research
to real world, practical settings. The book uses a range of corpus-based
findings and related research to provide an effective analysis of the language
needs of the aviation industry and an extended look at linguistic principles
in action. Readers are presented with case studies, transcriptions,
radiotelephony, and a clear breakdown of the common vocabulary and phrasal
patterns of aviation discourse. Students and teachers of both linguistics and
aviation will discover the requirements and challenges of successful
intercultural communication in this industry, as well as insights into how to
teach, develop, and assess aviation English language courses.
