INTEGRATION OF THE CASE STUDY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR DEVELOPING FUTURE PILOTS’ PROFESSIONAL RELIABILITY

Abstract

The article focuses on studying the formation of such a competence as professional reliability among pilot-cadets in the process of studying aviation English at aviation universities. Scientific works of researchers who have explored similar subject are analized here. It examines the application of the case study in the education process as an effective pedagogical teaching method in the history of education across various specialties. The authors also pay special attention to the effectiveness of the case study in the process of distance learning. The article asserts that the use of the case study in the educational process for aviation specialists is a necessary didactic component and contributes to the development of critical thinking, which helps enhance stability and reliability skills for performing flight tasks in both normal and emergency situations. The article describes the application of case studies in theoretical aviation English lessons and directly during training on flight simulator systems. It presents a plan for using the case study in simulator-based training sessions. The authors analyze the possibility of sustainably developing reliability among pilot-cadets during simulator training sessions. An experimental study of this aspect confirms that it requires careful study and development of organizational aspects and methods to achieve a common goal, how to effectively build a reliable level of knowledge in aviation English language for future flight operations professionals.
