Introduction to

Aviation English
Programme

This course is intended for people with limited knowledge of aviation, who are aiming to start their
training for a career in the aviation industry. They may wish to become a pilot or an air traffic
controller, or to be involved in airport administration, and need to have an overview of how the
aviation world works.
This special programme gives them an insight into the world of aviation and an understanding of
some of its terminology, whilst improving their general English language at the same time.
The course provides a useful combination of intensive general English and aviation English tuition.
The intensive programme, adopting an integrated skills approach, focuses on general English
language development. The specialised component of the course concentrates on extending the
trainee’s aviation English vocabulary, whilst also improving the receptive and productive language
skills, using a range of topic areas within the context of aviation.
