Recenzii

"Compelling reading not only for AE trainers and test developers, but also for aviation instructors and experts in aviation safety... This exceptionally well crafted book certainly demonstrates the significance of collaborative work and joint research to achieve the ultimate goal of aviation safety through effective communication."
- Mariela Karina Strac, Aviation in Focus: Journal of Aeronautical Sciences
"A long-awaited comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the context and language of pilot-controller communications. Bringing together the accumulated expertise of linguists, human factors specialists and aviators, this study is indispensable reading for any language instructor or language test developer in this area."
- Dr Jeremy Mell, Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile, France, and former expert for France to the ICAO Price Study Group
"This landmark text offers powerful insights into what is at stake in aviation communication, the threats to its success, and how policy is struggling to manage its risks. A hugely valuable resource not only for those interested in aviation communication and aviation safety, but for readers and researchers in the broader fields of ELF, ESP, and English as an international language."
- Professor Tim McNamara, University of Melbourne, Australia
"...this book offers a lot of food for thought, is also an excellent appraisal of AE and an outstanding addition to the secondary literature."
- Simon Gilmour, Police University, Rhineland-Patatine, Germany
"All in all, this collection of papers written by experienced AE experts provides a “treasure trove” for everybody involved in learning or teaching AE. It is written in a clear academic style, provides a lot food for thought and is clearly based on scientific research and practical experience. It is recommended as an informative reading for AE instructors, students, pilots and ATCs. It is the first in a number of forthcoming challenging books on research in ESP in the Routledge Research in English for Specific Purposes series, with hands-on experience highly awaited by ESP professionals."
- Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Ines-Andrea Busch-Lauer, Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau, in Fachsprache (2017)
"Aviation English doesn't have anywhere near as many words and phrases as the version of the language that most of us speak, but in some ways it's much more complex and nuanced. Because a misunderstanding between a pilot and a controller can lead to catastrophe, Aviation English relies upon a standard phraseology..."
