Transversalization of the teaching-learning of the English language as a competence in aeronautical maintenance

The objective of this research is to analyze some variables that affect the difficulty that aeronautical technicians and technologists have in interpreting aircraft manufacturers’ technical publications in context, considering that the English language is the established language for aviation worldwide, and is not limited to radiotelephone communications between pilots and air traffic control, but extends to the hangars including all officials responsible for enabling the flight in optimal conditions of operational safety. This study addresses the need to boost the teaching-learning process of the English language in a transversal manner throughout the curriculum. Establishing an analysis of the variables involved in this problem, such as anxiety, fear of making mistakes and difficulty in interpreting a text, among others, its causes and effects, it is possible to demonstrate from the information obtained in the field work,that learning this language together with all the contents of the aeronautical programs would make it possible to achieve more effective results. In summary, through the study and discussion of other existing research on the subject, the affinity between their theses and the proposed work is clarified.
