Background and aim of study:
The research deals with the methods of interactive teaching techniques implementation
and their effectiveness assessment during professional language training of future
pilots. These techniques are not only aimed to improve language proficiency, but
ensure professional expertise and its implementation in the future professional activity.
The aim of the study: to define professional language proficiency, to determine and
describe interactive teaching methods able to facilitate in developing language skills
that meet ICAO language proficiency requirements.
Research methods:
The systematic collection and analysis of all subjective and objective information
necessary to define and validate defensible curriculum purposes that satisfy the
language learning requirements of students within the context of particular institutions
that influence the learning and teaching situation are made. Holistic descriptors and
language proficiency assessment scale developed by ICAO are studied. Innovative
teaching approaches and methods are studied and implemented. Interactive teaching
techniques are implemented and the results are assessed during the training course on
Aviation English.
Results:
Recent studies have proved that methods based on interaction considerably increase
students’ motivation, willingness to learn, improve and expedite language skills
acquisition and facilitate in their successful implementation in real situations.
Conclusion:
The demands for language proficiency defined by ICAO are not limited by merely
knowledge of a set of grammar rules, vocabulary and ways of pronouncing sounds. It
is a complex interaction of that knowledge with a number of skills and abilities, which
can be developed through interactive teaching methods.
