Keywords:
Aviation English, oral corpus, Corpus linguistics, coursebooks, proficiency descriptors.Abstract
This article aims to discuss how Corpus Linguistics can assist in the development of a common
understanding of ICAO´s descriptors of language proficiency, by determining which semantic, lexical, and
structural fields are to be taught in Aviation English. In the first section, there is a brief description of the
needs in Aviation English along with an overview of the ICAO´s descriptors. This is followed by a
recommendation of the use of Corpus Linguistics as an adequate tool for the scientific collection and
processing of linguistic data which may allow for a uniform understanding of the descriptors. Finally, some
analyses on how studies can be accomplished are provided.
