Professional Reviews"Cleared For Takeoff is a standout ESL Aviation curriculum. If you are an ESL professional with no aviation background like I was, you will find this curriculum an excellent starting point for building your program." Janna Rice "Finally a book is out on the market that allows students that are speakers of other languages to learn radio terminology AND improve their English conversational skills from an illustrative and didactic format. Thanks to this set of texts, Cleared for Takeoff, our students are now able to pass their flight licenses without being hindered by their language barriers."

Author  About the Author"When barely three or four years old, I used to lie flat on the soft grass and shut my eyes tight. I dreamed that I could miraculously lift off the ground and fly. Nobody could convince me otherwise."- Liz Mariner Over the course of more than forty years as a flight instructor, chief flight instructor, and founder of two flight schools, Liz Mariner has known firsthand, and met, the urgent need for improved Aviation English proficiency. Liz has two lifelong passions: she loves to fly, and she loves to teach. Liz began her flight training at Parafield Airport, South Australia, in 1961, and in 1965 became the first female flight instructor trained completely in that country. She earned both the Royal Society of Arts Certificate (University of Cambridge) to Teach English as a Foreign Language to Adults and the Australian Centre for Languages Certificate in Adult TESOL. Applying the ESL teaching methods she learned to the aviation environment, Liz pioneered effective new methods of airborne and ground instruction. Through many years of refining, Liz became an authority in teaching the language of aviation, gaining renown for both her method and her ability. Liz subsequently chaired an Australian government civil aviation safety review program to establish effective and measurable English language standards for pilots. She was formally recognized by the Australian Civil Aviation Authority for "excellence in instruction" and for her outstanding contribution to aviation safety. She also became the first designated UK radiotelephony examiner in Australia. Today, Liz operates her own aviation consultancy. Increasingly in demand, she has designed and facilitated Aviation English courses for many of the world’s major airlines, ranging from ab initio training to commercial pilot license training, instrument rating training, and conversion and simulator training for advanced aircraft. She is frequently invited by airline management to assess the English language proficiency of prospective airline cadets as part of the selection process. Liz also regularly delivers aviation theory courses to foreign students in the subjects required for an Australian commercial pilot license. Liz is regularly sought after by today’s leaders in the aviation industry, but she is equally appreciated by her many devoted students throughout the world. A passionate student of languages herself (having studied French, Bahasa Indonesia, Latin, German, Japanese, and Mandarin), Liz is inspired and motivated by students eager to learn. She is a gifted, dynamic, and dedicated teacher whose lively and engaging style has made the task of learning to fly, and learning to fly using a new language, both achievable and enjoyable. AE Link is proud to offer the aviation industry the Mariner Method of Aviation English learning, Cleared for Takeoff: Aviation English Made Easy. Flight institutions around the world are taking advantage of Liz Mariner’s proven work. |

About Us About AE Link PublicationsAE Link was founded in 2006, but it really began many years before that in the far reaches of China, where as an Aviation English teacher I struggled to teach would-be pilot students how to make sense of the indecipherable radio chatter that they would have to learn to communicate with when they went on to flight training. Serendipity intervened in the form of a fellow teacher who arrived at the school for her twelfth time. Her course had to be fit into the many others she had scheduled because there, in China, she was legendary. She was Liz Mariner, an Australian dynamo, a one-woman teaching whirlwind. Her effect on the students was amazing. She had a seemingly magical way of getting them to talk and to listen well enough to really hear. "It’s not hard to get them talking about airplanes," Liz would say, "but you’ll never find it in a workbook because that one hasn’t been written yet." And she was right. Standard ESL workbooks could teach the students how to buy a bus ticket or ask directions to the post office, but there was no material in existence that would teach them how to speak the language of aviation—a challenging enough task for the native English speaker. So, AE Link was born. And now, in Cleared for Takeoff , her easy-to-use workbooks, Liz Mariner shares her knowledge, her enthusiasm, and her simple joy for living and teaching with the rest of the world.
