11TH GEIA SEMINAR, 2024
The 11th GEIA Seminar was offered online from November 25-29, 2024 at the website: geia.icea.decea.mil.br/seminar/11th. The outstanding quality of the speakers and the state-of-the-art presentations made the Seminar a remarkable event for learning and sharing knowledge, experiences, and research findings.
The program covered a wide range of topics, including Aeronautical English (AE) as a lingua franca, AE course and material development, the use of artificial intelligence for teaching and testing purposes, and Aviation English documentation. The event featured two keynote lectures and seventeen oral presentations on Aeronautical English testing, language as a human factor, AE teaching, and documentation issues in aviation - highlighting the importance of the research conducted by GEIA members and participants.
A total of 204 participants from Brazil and 248 participants from abroad attended the Seminar. Speakers from 17 different countries - including Brazil, the United States, Australia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, China, Thailand, Venezuela, Peru, Israel, Argentina, and Spain - underscored the truly international reach and impact of this landmark event. Gathering distinguished speakers and participants, the Seminar fostered dialogue on innovation, training, testing, and documentation in Aviation English.
As a follow-up to the event, selected lectures and talks have been compiled in these proceedings. They include two summaries, four case studies, and two full papers covering a variety of themes and findings. In addition, three interviews provide an overview of Aeronautical English testing in South America. We deeply appreciate the authors’ contributions, which have greatly enriched this publication, and the reviewers for their careful and valuable work. Our sincere thanks also go to the Brazilian Military Organizations DECEA and ICEA for promoting the Seminar and to Zenodo and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for hosting this online publication and for helping disseminate GEIA’s contributions worldwide.
