This book has been written to support the teaching of the course book, Aviation English. Air traffic controllers and pilots who attend English courses have the same language needs as any other students who wish to improve their English for professional purposes. They are not attending English courses to learn the technical vocabulary they need for their jobs, but rather to improve their general ability to communicate on work-related matters in English. You may have limited or no experience in the teaching of English for civil aviation. If so, this Teacher?s Book has been written to help you. There are comprehensive explanations for non-specialists of the issues and the particular situations which air traffic controllers and pilots have to deal with. Detailed teaching notes are also provided for each unit. The Teacher?s Book therefore has a dual function. To provide background information and explanations on aviation contexts and to provide some suggestions as to how to teach the material most effectively.
