ABSTRACT

The flight cadets interview for abroad flight training plays an important role in their whole flight career, thus it is essential for them to master necessary interview skills or understand relevant communication strategies so as to pass the interview smoothly. In this study, a dynamic analysis of communicative strategies used by pilots from the perspective of convergence, divergence, and language maintenance is proposed, which are the main strategies put forward by Speech Accommodation Theory. On the basis of this theory, some typical communicative strategies of two parties are comprehensively interpreted and the cadets’ interview language strategy is effectively explored so as to improve students’ real interviewing capability.

KEYWORDS
