![]() ![]() Many textbooks these days contain pictures which aren’t really related to the text or activities, but the first thing I noticed in Aviation English was that all the activities in the exercises are realistic, as are the pictures and diagrams. Each unit’s goals are to enhance not only structure and vocabulary but also fluency, and they all succeed in this. Each unit consists of Topics, Skills, Pronunciation, Functions and Vocabulary. The units covered include Runway Incursion, Lost, Technology, Animals, Gravity, Health, Fire, Meteorology, Landings, Fuel, Pressure and Security, each of which is explained in detail on the Contents page. The Student book contains 12 units and each unit is then divided into 4 sections (reading based, listening/pronunciation based, emergency/non-routine flight operation scenarios and an extension section). The text is 128 pages long and is accompanied by an interactive CD-ROM and also a pronunciation CD-ROM. The first few pages contain an easy to read introduction, detailed contents page and the ICAO rating scale. The text is so well set out and developed it was actually interesting and fun to look at. I will admit I was nervous about reviewing this book as I didn’t know much about Aviation English and was expecting a lot of difficult terminology but I was pleasantly surprised. ![]()
