Additionally, as a practical illustration of implementing content-based instruction in the PAFU classroom, the gradual process underlying the personally developed tasks integrating not only contextualised grammar and vocabulary, but also receptive and productive skills was meticulously described.}, abstract={Synthesis of theoretical concepts encompassing elements of aviation safety studies – the SHELL model, English teaching methods and approaches and psychology – the theory of Multiple Intelligence was made to outline the authoress’s interdisciplinary approach to teaching English. Comparison was applied to link the process of developing materials to officer-cadets’ flight training. Literature pertaining to syllabus design was analysed to determine the type of the designed aviation-based syllabus. Findings from applying diagnostic surveys were presented to describe officer-cadets’ reception of the aviation-based lesson and syllabus.}, abstract={The analysis of both the designed aviation-based syllabus including sample teaching materials and positive feedback obtained from surveys conducted among officer-cadets prove the advisability and necessity for adopting an interdisciplinary approach to teaching officer-cadets at the Polish Air Force University.}, abstract={The proposed aviation-based syllabus including well-designed materials reflecting an interdisciplinary teaching approach is a comprehensive teaching solution adjusted to officer-cadets’ learning needs and tailored to their military milieu The implementation and further improvement of such an innovative solution is feasible provided more teaching staff is involved in the outlined process.}, title={Developing an aviation-based syllabus for PAFU officer-cadets}, doi={10.37055/pno/174600}, }
