The flightenglish forum
The
flightenglish forum is an entirely voluntary grouping of teachers
of English language in the aviation sector. The forum is an internet
list serv for the exchange of ideas and views covering the
whole gamut of Aviation English activities from research to
training to testing. The flightenglish forum is not affiliated
to any commercial entity or aviation lobby group. Two years ago
it was decided to hold informal workshops where teachers could meet
to discuss matters relevent to their classroom tasks and demonstrate
to others materials and techniques which had help them and their
students in the training role.
The flightenglish forum has no direct connection with Flightspeak Ltd apart from the fact that Flightspeak Ltd via this website promotes the forum and its activities and aims on a voluntary basis.
