English for Pilots

“English Listening Training Quizzes” : (Aviation Pilots English) (Portuguese: Inglês Pilotos Aviação) (Spanish: Inglés Aviación Pilotos)

Our App it’s a special tool to Train Your Aviation English Listening.

“Our Quizzes” are based in the "CSOC METHOD" (Controlled Suppression of Consonants). It's not a new method to teach English, it is a very useful training tool for you that is already an English speaker but still have some difficulty to understand native English speakers from each part of the world.

This method is based on a formula used by sound system engineers to define the consonants loss in acoustical spaces(ref.1).

Why this way? Class room listening and talking one another in a good acoustic environment it’s easy, but when it comes to understand in the real world, with words slurring (relaxed pronunciation) and mumbling (lowering the voice or partially closing the mouth) with noises(ref.2) and so on, that is a total different issue.

This method uses 3 levels of consonants loss:

-Level Zero (L0) – With no loss (a good noise/sound relation and no reverberation).

-Level One (L1) – Approximately 15% of consonants loss, produced electronically.

-Level Two (L2) – Approximately 25% of consonants loss, produced electronically.

--> "PLEASE USE EARPHONES/HEADPHONES"

Inside these levels you will practice a very important part of your listening training, keeping your mind connected to the real world(ref.3). If you are able to understand L2 you can be considered a good listener with a good comprehension level.

At the same time you will use updated texts/audios that are directly connected to your profession.

An Issue has 3 Quizzes with 6-8 questions. The estimated Training Time (Intermediate English Level) is 30 minutes/Quiz. Prices with email-support included.
