Proposed Linguodidactic Approaches And Methods For Developing Communicative Competence In Military English Instruction
Abstract
This article suggests linguodidactic strategies and techniques for enhancing communicative ability in military English education. The framework combines well-known models of communicative competence, NATO language competency standards, and results from applied research on education that is focused on tasks, content, and culture. There are 10 different methods described and explained, including scenario-driven training, content-and-language integration, corpus-informed lexicon development, and technology-mediated simulations. A sample 10-week program shows how to put the ideas into practice, and there are assessment rubrics that match the NATO STANAG 6001 descriptions. Conceptual and mission-phase alignment diagrams show how the approaches are systematically designed. The results show that using a mix of task-based, content-focused, multicultural, and digital methods is the best way to improve communication skills in the military.
