| Goal of subject |
|---|
(1) To learn about aircraft structures, using English as a working language;
(2) To familiarize oneself with AMM, CMM, IPC, MMEL – by learning to read and understand the maintenance-targeted information contained;
(3) Alongside learning about the structures, to acquire the relevant terms and their use in collocations/context;
(4) Through different formats of discussion to imaginarily “immerse” the students into conversations that they will, most likely, tackle in their internships at a MRO, and in their professional careers. |

| Learning outcomes of the subject |
|---|
1. Knowledge of relevant aircraft structures and systems, and their terminology in English;
2. Ability to correctly interpret and use terms within relevant collocations/context;
3. Ability to read and understand maintenance data (AMM, CMM, IPC, MMEL, etc) during practical training within internships -- in simulated or real maintenance environment. |

| Subject course description |
|---|
(1) Students’ ultimate goal in this course is to integrate the study of commercial aircraft and English, used in Aircraft Engineering. They (are encouraged to) use English, both, as a language of working and of learning.
To that end:
(2) With the focus on studying the aircraft (and related terminology), the students also study verbal collocations, used in contemporary professional literature on airframes and power plants – with the objective to expand their lexis and command of English language structures at large;
(3) Via the documentary video(clip)s, the students will be virtually contacting the structural elements of commercial aircraft, and also improve their listening skills in English (by getting used to different paces of verbal presentation, and dialects) and, also, learn about aircraft visually and audibly. |
