Authors : Rouaghe Fouzia .
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific English language needs of military aviation trainees and trainers at the Specialized Helicopter School (SHS) in Ain Arnat Setif. The focus is on understanding the linguistic requirements of these individuals in both academic and professional settings. The study aims to explore the convergence and divergence of aviators' perceptions regarding their linguistic needs and determine whether the existing aviation phraseology is adequate for use in both peacetime and wartime scenarios. By collecting data and analyzing the findings, the researchers seek to develop a needs-oriented curriculum for English language instruction that can be effectively implemented at the SHS. The curriculum aims to address the identified language needs and enhance the language proficiency of the trainees and trainers in the context of their military aviation roles. The results of the study offer valuable insights into the design and development of curriculum guidelines specific to the SHS. These guidelines will provide recommendations on the content, structure, and delivery methods for English language instruction, tailored to the unique requirements of military aviation personnel. The intention is to align the curriculum with the identified linguistic needs, ensuring that it meets the demands of both academic study and professional practice within the aviation field. By implementing the recommended curriculum, the SHS can enhance the English language skills of its trainees and trainers, thereby facilitating effective communication, collaboration, and performance in their roles. The study's findings will not only contribute to the body of knowledge in language education but also have practical implications for the professional development of military aviators. Furthermore, the research outcomes may have broader implications beyond the SHS context. Other similar military training institutions or organizations involved in aviation education could benefit from the insights gained in this study.
