다양한 국적의 선박 운항자와 영어라는 공용어를 매개로 교신해야 하는 해상교통관제사에게 영어구술능력은 필수라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 영어교신분석을 통하여 영어구술능력 인증의 필요성에 대해 살펴보고 항공관제연구사례와 해상교통관제사 대상 설문조사를 통하여 영어구술능력 인증을 위한 영어구술능력시험 도입으로 인해 발생할 부작용에 대해 알아본 후 이를 최소화 할 수 있는 방안에 대해 제시함을 목적으로 한다.

국제민간항공기구는 항공안전을 도모하는 차원에서 ICAO 항공영어제도(ICAO LPRs)의 국제 표준을 제정하였다. 이에 따라 우리나라는 2005년 11월 8일 항공법을 개정하여 항공영어능력증명시험(EPTA)을 만들었다. 본 연구는 항공영어제도의 문제점을 분석하고 개선하는데 목적이 있다. 조사는 우리 항공영어제도와 해외사례를 비교하고 문제점을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 우리 항공영어제도와 ICAO 항공영어제도, 다른 나라 항공영어제도 사이에 차이점들이 나타나고 개선이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 개선은 직무연관성을 보강하는 방향으로 문항개선과 등급제도 개선 방안 등을 제시하였다.

EPTA(English Proficiency Test for Aviation) was not very aviation realistic test before 2019. Testee needed pass listening test first. Then testee could take speaking test. There were 20sets of speaking test. If the testee memorize well, he or she could pass the test easily even though he or she was not very good at English. So the pilot and the authority agreed to change the format of EPTA since 2016. Through development of new EPTA format, the Korea Transportation Safety Authority started new EPTA test since January, 2019. It has been one year since the new format of EPTA started. Now I try to survey satisfaction of new EPTA through questionnaire.

ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) established ICAO LPRs(Language Proficiency Requirements) which is an international standard of English for aviation to promote the aviation safety. The Republic of Korea government amended the aviation law on the 8th of November, 2005 and made EPTA(English Proficiency Test for Aviation) as a follow up action. Purpose of this research is analysing the problem of EPTA and improving it. This investigation takes a look at the current ICAO LPRs and compares the difference between EPTA and other global English proficiency requirements for aviation. The result indicated that there is a discordance between the standards of ICAO and EPTA. Also, the global English proficiency reqirements for aviation and EPTA had differences which required improvements. The study suggests to replace more job relevant questions in the EPTA and reform the level system of EPTA.

The existence of appropriate teaching materials in foreign language is very essential especially if it is related to safety. Among them, the importance of textbooks is more emphasized because there is no suitable education or curriculum for EPTA (English proficiency test of aviation). A good textbook not only presents the right direction to study but also provides an efficient way to learn. This research exploded how well textbooks for EPTA are organized and analyzed current pilots' responses whether the textbooks are suitable for preparing EPTA through the questionnaire. The conclusion drawn is that textbooks for EPTA should be designed to encourage current and pre-pilots to learn how to communicate with controllers efficiently and briefly, and also should provide proper guide lines for preparing EPTA.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the face validity of the revised EPTA (English Proficiency Test for Aviation) to see if the tests actually contribute to the enhancement of aviation safety and achieve the purpose of the assessment. In order to reach the above objectives, 103 pilot test takers were surveyed, and nine in-depth interviewees were selected and interviewed. In addition, detailed research results were derived by dividing the participants into the pilot's flight experience (31 captain pilots, 42 first officer pilots, and 30 general commercial pilots). As a result, pilot participants were generally aware that EPTA was more reasonable because the revised EPTA properly implemented the aviation situation and gave participants motivation to learn aviation English. It was also seen that first officer pilots had a higher face validity of EPTA than captain and general commercial pilots. The reason was that first officer pilots considered air traffic control job was more important than other pilots did.
