Take-Off has been designed for non-native speakers of
English who are studying Engineering (NVQ Level 2 and above. The
aeronautical context is particularly aimed at technicians and engineers
who are going on to work in the aeronautics industry.
Take-Off is an ESP course for intermediate-level students.
Unlike many ESP courses, it teaches genuine transferable skills and is
ideal for students who need to further their technical training in
English. The focus is on skills development, using relevant contexts,
with grammar taking a strong supporting role.
Reading and listening development is dealt with in the context of
understanding instructions and information in technical manuals.
Students develop the speaking skills of asking for and giving factual
information, and the writing skills necessary to complete workplace
documentation, such as accident reports and safety assessments.
Take-Off uses a communicative methodology, with graded tasks
that are careful scaffolded to involve and motivate the students,
providing them with a clear sense of achievement. The wide variety of
texts and task types will appeal to a broad range of ages and
nationalities.
