While Aviation English is the lingua franca of the skies, it is not a variety of English: it has no native speakers and NES must learn and practise it. Based on the practical experience of the author as a flight instructor and an Aviation English assessor, combined with academic research in language and communication, this book provides strong arguments for the need to teach standard aviation communication to native English speakers. It describes the challenges of aviation communication and the ongoing problems posed by the lack of relevant training or testing for NES, reviews the current state of affairs regarding regulations across a range of countries, and suggests training solutions to be integrated in the ground school curriculum and during flight training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students working in English for Specific Purposes, Aviation English and Aviation Communication, as well as for professionals in aviation and aviation training.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455533633880,"sku":"9781032443775","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032443775.jpg?v=1770342331","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/native-english-speakers-and-aviation-communication","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
