LANGUAGE TRAINING
A purely routine use of the language through phraseology, standard procedures and limited social contact only maintains a limited core usage of the language which might be inadequate for managing unexpected and abnormal situations.
Language proficiency erosion (language attrition) occurs rapidly over time: the lower the initial level, the faster the rate of erosion — unless systematic strategies and a high degree of motivation counteract this trend.
It is documented that one’s language and communicative proficiency, even in one’s native language, deteriorates sharply under stress; therefore, regular participation in language training is recommended.
