Why is it important?
The review presents the book as a useful resource not only for teachers of English for aviation but for any ESP teacher, since many of its ideas can be adapted to programmes with other purposes. No previous experience with aviation is needed, and features such as a list of abbreviations and explanatory notes help readers follow the content.
Perspectives
As an ESP teacher, I found this book a valuable resource, and reviewing it was a good opportunity to share it with colleagues working in other specialised fields.
