We are pleased to announce the publication of "Aviation English as a Global Lingua Franca" by our Research Assistant Professor, Dr Hyejeong Kim, published by Cambridge University Press.
This new monograph explores aviation English as a global lingua franca through the lens of communities of practice, shedding light on how pilots’ and air traffic controllers’ ongoing learning through practice in the international context helps make their communication safe and efficient.
