概要 Abstract
The needs of language learners can vary widely. In our case, cultural factors of pilot trainees in Japan, and language requirements for simulator training for air traffic controllers in the UAE underpin our course design. Yet, the approach we take to meeting these needs is similar and based on task-based language teaching. This paper summarises our conference presentation and outlines why this task-based approach is an effective tool in teaching aviation phraseology or radiotelephony (RTF) to our students. It examines the structure of a task-based lesson, the cognitive processes the method addresses and task sequencing. Justification for teaching RTF as a separate subject to maximise learning is established in two parts: by examining simulator training from a cognitive load perspective; and a brief look at the effect of workload on language production. Finally, we answer the criticism that RTF should be the domain of air traffic control and pilot instructors only.
