Abstract

The article deals with the development of communicative competence in the process of teaching Aviation English. Special attention is given to audiovisual means as an effective tool that has a positive impact on the organization of the learning process, making it clearer and more focused. The main objectives of the paper are to study the theoretical bases of the communicative competence formation of the future military pilots with the help of audiovisual aids and the way it can be performed in the multilevel classroom. The results show that communicative language teaching (CLT) is the core method used today to gain experience and knowledge necessary for successful activity in the professional sphere. The most important skill is considered to be the skill to perform radio negotiations between the flight crew and the air traffic control services to interact with the colleagues during different peacekeeping operations, joint exercises and maneuvers. The findings concerning multilevel class teaching have direct practical relevance.
