The effect of a proposed on-job task-based program on developing the English language fluency for civil aviation personnel

Abstract EN

This study aimed at examining the effect of using an on-job task-based program on developing civil aviation personnel’s English language fluency.

the study began with a review of pertinent literature and previous studies on task-based language teaching, on-job teaching programs, and language fluency.

a suggested list of oral and written fluency components delimited to participants’ needs of language use was designed as a guide for the design of the instruments.

a pre / post fluency test and a rubric were prepared by the researcher.

the proposed program was prepared by the researcher.

a random group of participants (N = 30) was nominated to participate in this study and get involved in its tasks.

their ages ranged from (28 to 45) years old.

the participants were submitted to a pre-posttest.

then, the scores were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively.

results showed that the participants’ results of post-treatment outperformed their results pretreatment.

thus, the proposed program was highly effective in developing participants’ English language fluency.
