English for Pilots and Controllers - G-1.30A

Anglo-Continental’s English for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers Course is designed to help aviation professionals who need to meet the ICAO language proficiency requirements.

The course provides an ideal combination of general and specialised English tuition. This ensures that the trainees have the opportunity to improve their general English language skills, which is essential to support the development of the specialised aviation English required for ICAO language proficiency requirements.

Course Duration:  2 to 8 weeks

General English (20 lessons per week)

The general English tuition adopts an integrated skills approach. The course concentrates on structure and usage, oral communication, vocabulary development and listening and reading comprehension. This provides the trainee with an opportunity to communicate and interact with other learners in a multi-lingual environment, as well as develop their language skills in preparation for the specialised component. 

Specialised Aviation English (10 lessons per week)

The specialised aviation English component focuses on developing the trainee’s 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.

The course is aimed at ICAO levels 4 and 5, and is focused on improving the communication skills needed to achieve operational level and above.
