How it began ICAO Circular 323 An exchange between ICAO & ICAEA 4 workshops in 2007 ICAEA forum Drafted by ICAEA Board members Edited by ICAO & ICAEA Published by ICAO in December 2009

Why we needed guidelines ICAO Circular 323 Why we needed guidelines Aviation English: a new profession Absence of any appropriate accreditation High stakes Short deadlines Few experienced teachers Tendency to just extend TEFL Diversity of approaches Some disappointing outcomes

What the aims are ICAO Circular 323 Assist training decision-makers Support training developers & teachers Attempt to define best practice Enhance LPR implementation

The terms of reference ICAO Circular 323 Draw lessons from: ICAO Rating scale & holistic descriptors Document 9835 Operational communicative requirements

Premises ICAO Circular 323 Aim of language: ensure clear pilot-controller communication Aviation language: a specific set of lexis, structures & functions Criterion of proficiency: operational efficiency Communication: predominantly oral Impacts: public safety, careers, economic

4 areas addressed Training design & development Training delivery ICAO Circular 323 4 areas addressed Training design & development Training delivery Trainer profiles Trainer training

Some issues addressed Realistic training durations ICAO Circular 323 Some issues addressed Realistic training durations Differences between learners Communicative nature of language required Value of training content Operational relevance Effectiveness of blended learning Need for remedial & recurrent training Characteristics of trainers

1. Design & Development (Objectives) ICAO Circular 323 1. Design & Development (Objectives) Proficiency in operationally-relevant, work-related language Communicative language skills All six ICAO skill areas addressed Level 4 in all six areas Sustainability

1. Design & Development (Providers) ICAO Circular 323 1. Design & Development (Providers) Information about: Design & development team Qualification & experience: EFL & SME Training curriculum Curriculum development process

1. Design & Development (Pedagogy) ICAO Circular 323 1. Design & Development (Pedagogy) Curriculum content & order Pilot & controller streams (?) Professional & ab initio students Communicative approach Professional relevance & motivation Use of technology & media Blended learning Cost-effectiveness Monitoring: student & QA

2. Training delivery (Factors) ICAO Circular 323 2. Training delivery (Factors) Integration of classroom & distance Enhancing learner motivation Communicative approach: use of non-textual prompts Applicability of content, activities and level Adaptability to specific requirements

3. Trainer profiles & background (1) ICAO Circular 323 3. Trainer profiles & background (1) TEFL Qualifications ESP experience Either TEFL or SME background Linguistic skills & operational familiarity ICAO Scale, descriptors, 9835 Exposure to operational environment Interaction between SMEs & TEFLs

3. Trainer profiles & background (2) ICAO Circular 323 3. Trainer profiles & background (2) Attitudes! Create conditions for speech production Motivate & support Prioritize communicational effectiveness Observe, coordinate, facilitate & learn Be aware of safety-critical language Be sensitive to cultural differences

4. Trainer Training (1) ICAO Circular 323 Aviation environment (pilot / ATCO): Flight ops, airspace Aircraft systems, flight phases Airport environment Meteorology, hazards Safety, Human Factors, CRM Abnormal situations Language continuum Regulatory environment

4. Trainer Training (2) Practical training: Listening in ATC lab ICAO Circular 323 4. Trainer Training (2) Practical training: Listening in ATC lab Using rated speech samples Developing lessons from raw data Group management in communication Adapting material to specific needs Working in tandem

Aviation English training and testing are ultimately about safety ICAO Circular 323 Conclusions (1) Aviation English training and testing are ultimately about safety High stakes require a high level of professional and personal commitment The relevance of objectives and activities to be assessed in the light of real-life operational requirements Aviation English training is distinct from TEFL and even ESP in other fields Training should have a predominantly communicative bias

Content should be relevant to the population being trained ICAO Circular 323 Conclusions (2) Content-based language training is more efficient, motivating and cost-effective Content should be relevant to the population being trained The trainer is the training provider’s most valuable asset The student is at the heart of the learning process There are no short cuts to training English trainers

ICAO Circular 323 Conclusions (3) Student motivation and commitment are essential to successful training outcomes Consistent monitoring, feedback, review and adjustment required Small financial savings may have very expensive consequences Attaining operational language proficiency is a team effort

Training is a life-long process! ICAO Circular 323 Conclusions (4) Training is a life-long process!
