The objective of this systematic review is to present a critical overview of current studies to explore issues such as the factors causing EFL learners’ poor oral performance and the teaching and assessment methods of oral English communication skills (OECSs) for developing tertiary level learners’ OECSs in EFL contexts. For this purpose, 51 empirical studies of the 2907 retrieved from SpringerLink, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the Google Scholar database that were published between 2010 and 2019 in different EFL contexts were analyzed. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and was analyzed thematically using NVIVO 12, followed by the Mendeley reference management software. Studies that were conducted in native English contexts and non-empirical studies were excluded from consideration for this study. The findings showed that the environmental factor was the primary factor for learners’ poor OECS performance in EFL contexts. For the method of teaching and assessment of learners’ OECSs, the use of technology is rapidly increasing in different EFL contexts. This study suggests some implications for both future researchers and academics for developing EFL learners’ oral English communication skills dealing with environmental, psychological, and linguistic factors along with teaching and learning resources at the tertiary level in EFL contexts.

“…Additionally, Zhang (2012) conducted a study about the effectiveness of strategy-based instruction towards listening comprehension including many of Oxford's strategies like the cognitive, metacognitive, and social strategies. Results showed that employing these strategies by EFL teachers increased positively the listening comprehension of students, and leverage the communication skills of EFL learners because EFL learners acquire more knowledge of the language while practicing listening comprehension, so their speaking competence will be better (Manzano, 2018).…”

This study investigated the effect of a proposed training program based on strategy-based instruction (SBI) on EFL female teachers' performance in teaching listening comprehension. The participants of the study were 36 EFL female teachers who were purposefully chosen by EFL supervisors from schools in Amman. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: 18 EFL teachers in the experimental group who were trained according to the proposed training program and 18 teachers in the control group who were received a conventional training program. A teaching listening comprehension scale and an observation checklist were used as research tools. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to identify any statistically significant differences between the two groups on teachers' performance in teaching listening comprehension. The findings revealed that the teaching performance in listening comprehension of female EFL teachers in the experimental group outperformed the control group, and employed most of the SBI when the participants were observed. Based on the results of the study, the researcher recommends that future research be investigated on the effect of research-based strategies on teacher effectiveness in teaching other language skills.

“…Also, a study of procedural deviation in aviation discourse with the aim of coming up with a typology of deviations in aviation English could be useful for local trainers and material developers. Researchers could investigate the communication strategies (see methodology used by Manzano, 2018), and attitudes and motivation to study aviation English of controllers who regress into plain English (see Quinto (2015)'s study on attitude and motivation to study a working language).…”

Miscommunication in Pilot-controller Interaction

English is the preferred language for communication in the aviation industry. Pilots and air traffic controllers of different nationalities and proficiency levels interact with each other using a specialized form of English termed aviation English that comprises of aviation phraseology and "plain English". Here, miscommunication could have disastrous consequences. This paper presents the findings of a study that explored instances of miscommunication in the interaction between pilots and controllers. Miscommunication is defined as a lack of understanding (or misunderstanding), non-understanding or misinterpretation of messages in communication. The corpus consists of 30 hours of actual pilot-controller audio communication collected from the Malaysian airspace. Data were collected from three different frequencies (Alpha, Bravo and Charlie) representing different phases of the flight. They were analysed qualitatively using conversation analysis techniques. The study found that miscommunication in pilot-controller communication is due mainly to two main factors, procedural deviation and problematic instruction or request. The paper concludes by suggesting that pilots and controllers should adhere to standard phraseology and avoid code-switching from aviation phraseology to plain English except when it is inadequate for the situation. It also suggests that proper radio discipline should be maintained.
