Thanks for your input Dean. It is a bit light on ATCO focussed materials. Have you come across any better materials for air traffic controllers? We are building some courseware for them at the moment. You mentioned the 20 most common emergencies. Do you mean ATCO or pilot focussed, or general aviation emergencies.

Thanks again,

Mike Smith

Hi there, My name's Rachel and I'm also an aviation English instructor. I'd like to introduce you to a course I've developed. You may be able to use it with your students or introduce it to them. See my channel: ICAOenglish. I'd be interested in your feedback. Thanks, Rachel

Nice comprehensive review - are you a professional critic?

I teach Aviation English in Cambodia, and as metioned, the book is lacking in many aspects of ATC outside the west. The main problem I have, is finding material that 'holds' my ATC's attention. This book does that job well, with the included CD ROM animations and clickable tests (I pass a wireless mouse around so they all get a go), but there are too few interactive tasks. I've resorted to making my own (area specific) PowerPoint clickable tests, which they enjoy immensely.

This book is not bad but is definitely not comprehensive. As an aviation English instructor, I found that this book was insufficient for working with area air traffic controllers since job-task language wasn't there. Furthermore, it was very limited to aerodrome controllers (Very few lessons could be used with them.)

It also contains cultural insensitive language such as "American pilots can't speak English."

Very few of the 20 most common emergencies are even mentioned. Aside from this, ok.
