TEACHING ENGLISH TO AVIATION STUDENTS: METHODS AND CHALLENGES IN AVIATION ENGLISH INSTRUCTION

Аннотация

English plays a crucial role in international aviation communication. Pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation specialists must use English effectively to ensure safety and efficiency in global airspace. Therefore, teaching English to aviation students requires specialized approaches that combine general language skills with professional terminology and communication strategies. This article examines the importance of Aviation English, discusses the specific needs of aviation students, and analyzes effective teaching methods used in aviation training. Particular attention is given to communicative approaches, simulation-based learning, and the integration of aviation-specific vocabulary and phraseology. The study concludes that successful aviation English instruction requires a combination of linguistic competence, practical training, and awareness of international aviation standards such as those established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
