Linguistic Preparation of Aviation Specialists in Language Schools in the United Kingdom

Abstract

The contemporary development of the aviation sector demands not only technical skills from professionals but also a high level of language competence. English has become the international means of communication in this field, particularly within ICAO standards. Consequently, effective use of aviation English becomes a key factor for success in this profession. Our study focuses on preparing aviation specialists in Ukraine by incorporating the experience of leading British educational institutions, including Anglo-Continental, Mayflower College, and Rose of York Language School. The objective is to analyze the methodologies and approaches used by these schools for the effective implementation of their experience in Ukrainian conditions. The main goal is to study the approaches to teaching aviation English in British schools, identify their advantages and disadvantages, and develop recommendations for optimizing teaching methods in Ukrainian educational institutions. The experience of leading British educational institutions in training professionals for the aviation sector can be extremely valuable for Ukraine. The acquired knowledge and pedagogical methods will help improve the learning process in Ukrainian aviation schools, contributing to the preparation of qualified specialists with both technical and language skills at a high level. This can enhance the competitiveness of Ukrainian professionals in the international aviation services market and support the sustainability and safety of aviation communication in the country. Thus, exploring the prospects of extending British experience becomes a key aspect of our research aimed at improving the quality of aviation specialist training in Ukraine.
