Assessing the English Language Needs of Student Pilots: A Comprehensive Analysis for Effective Aviation English Training
Get PDFThis research aims to identify the English language material needs for pilot students at the Indonesian Civil Aviation Polytechnic in order to improve communication skills that are essential for flight safety and operational effectiveness. In data collection, the researcher distributed questionnaires to students and conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving students, flight instructors, English lecturers, and experienced pilots. The research results show that pilot students need two main skills in English learning. First, listening skills, especially in understanding instructions from ATC. Second, speaking skills used to respond to ATC instructions and to make requests or ask for information from ATC. The most important language elements required by aviation students are pronunciation, followed by vocabulary and grammar. The FGD results indicate that the current syllabus places more emphasis on grammar knowledge and lacks focus on practical listening and speaking skills. Additionally, the materials delivered are often based on the syllabus writers’ perceptions rather than the students\u27 actual needs. The information from this research is expected to serve as a recommendation for institutions to guide the development of a more relevant English syllabus and material for pilot students
