Civil Aviation English for Pilots: An English Air-ground Communication Course Based on Simulating Videos

<p>Communication between pilots and ATCs is one crucial element that affects flight safety. As a result, with the significant increase of international air service, ICAO decided English as the mandatory language of international civil aviation in the 1950s. According to the English requirement of ICAO, an English proficiency test was required in China.
