ABSTRACT Title: Discourse Analysis of Airspeak between Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers at Atatürk International Airport in Istanbul: Implications for Aviation English Courses. Author: Ayşen Handan Girginer Thesis Chairperson: Dr. Bena Gül Peker, Bilkent University, MA TEFL Program Committee Members: Dr. Patricia Sullivan, Dr. Tej Shresta, Marsha Hurley, Bilkent University, MA TEFL Program Airspeak, the language of the sky used between pilots and air traffic controllers, is an English-based language that has distinguishing features from standard English. This study aimed first at investigating what those distinguishing features of Airspeak are; second, in what ways these differences might cause miscommunication; and third, which aspects of Airspeak should be considered when designing guidelines for English courses given to air traffic controller and pilot training students. To consider all these points, this research study was triangulated with recordings, questionnaires and interviews. I obtained nine hours of recordings at Atatürk International Airport in Istanbul involving three operations of air traffic controlling: Area Control, Approach Control and Tower-Ground Control. I transcribed the recordings to use as the major source of data. I supported my data with questionnaires and interviews. The participants who completed questionnaires were twenty-five pilots and twenty-five air traffic controllers. The purpose of the questionnaires was to give an overall idea ofcontrollers. The purpose of the questionnaires was to give an overall idea of problems in the use of both standard English and Airspeak. The questionnaires contained sections on personal information, use of English in Airspeak and language- based problems. In the interviews with ten pilots and ten air traffic controllers, real- life situations concerning Airspeak were discussed. In data analysis, I used a discourse analysis approach. I focused on communicative acts of Airspeak such as speech acts and adjacency pairs. I also indicated language-based problems to use as a basis for classroom guidelines. The results of this study indicate that the distinguishing Airspeak linguistic features include reduced syntactical forms, and specific vocabulary based on IC AO guidelines and standard English. In addition, the findings of this study suggests that pronunciation and listening comprehension are the most important skills to improve. Suggestion for the classroom is to use actual recordings from controllers and pilots to teach. Airspeak. These are crucial for pilots and air traffic controllers, and lead to safety in the sky.
