Maritime English

English language is an integral part of a navigator’s life. And Maritime English language is one of the most important means of professional communication of seafarers because the vast majority of ships have multilingual international crews. In their work, the mariners have to communicate on various topics: professional, domestic or just to keep the conversation going in a multinational crew. Marine professionals need Maritime English at the user’s level and this fact is undisputable and undeniable. The level of English language proficiency depends on the success of the navigator, his career growth, ensuring the safety of navigation. Proficiency in Maritime English is stipulated in a separate line in convention documents (including the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) governing the training of seafarers. The article is devoted to one of the topical problems of the foreign language cadets’ (students’) education of the maritime institutions of higher education, in particular navigators. The concepts of «competence» is briefly characterized. The author provides the definitions of «foreign language communicative competence» given by foreign and Ukrainian scientists. Also the author’s own definition is formulated. There have been presented the main conditions for mastering international communication competence, which is important for the safe and efficient operation of maritime transport, in the process of professional training of future navigators. The main types of speech activities (listening, monologue speech, dialogic speech, writing, reading), which are used for the formation of foreign language communicative competence of future navigators, are analysed. The examples of tasks used at the practical classes by the professional English language teachers of the f Navigation and Ship Handling Chair of Azov Maritime Institute of the National University «Odessa Maritime Academy» are provided in this article. Key words: competence, foreign language communicative competence, speech activity, cadets (students) of maritime institutions of higher education.

Enhance Student Learning

This chapter examines three realities in the typical higher education English as a second language (ESL) classroom in non-English speaking countries and how they can be resolved to enhance student learning and teaching performance by native- and non-native English-speaking instructors alike. The British Council in 2018 estimated approximately 1.7 billion people were learning and using the English language worldwide in 2015, and the number is only expected to grow in the coming years. Therefore, the importance of this chapter in examining best ESL teaching practices should be obvious. The chapter is based on the author's extensive ESL background in seven nations since 1982 at higher education institutions as well as an integrated literature review related to the practice of teaching ESL.

Increasing Trend

Abstract The use of English as a second language is an increasing trend in higher education focused on non-native speakers, particularly for engineering programs interested in becoming actors inserted into the international academic context. However, the dual condition of both teaching engineering curriculum contents, and simultaneously using English language in non-native speaking contexts, entails risks and challenges that should be deeply understood. Considering this, results from a literature review are presented, built on articles from academic databases regarding use of two approaches, English as a medium of instruction and Content and language integrated learning, in engineering at higher education institutions, with specific interest in physics teaching, because of its relevance in engineering body of knowledge. As a finding, this topic has not been sufficiently studied in academic literature, and two focuses to carry out further research are suggested to contribute to the understanding of how to teach physics by using English language in non-native speaking contexts.

The Impact

This study frames intensive English language programs (IEPs) in institutions of higher education as potential vehicles for social justice among marginalized international students. In this study we examine the differences in academic achievement between international students who enter a university through an English proficiency test and those who pass through an IEP. We compared both populations through nearly 900 cases, out of a sample of 4888, who had similar language proficiency at the time of enrolling at a large research-intensive university in the Southwest of the United States. The results revealed great similarity between the populations of students indicating that as an intervention-style program, the IEP was successful in meeting the linguistic and academic needs of the students. The study also revealed potential implications for higher education policy in ensuring both program quality and benefit to students. The paper also raises issues of equity in terms of the lack of analysis in long-term outcomes for these types of programs compared to other interventions, the need for expansion of international student data collection by institutions of higher education and overall transparency in pre-university programs.

Everyday Communication

Competence-based technologies used for teaching a foreign language in non-linguistic higher education institutions, put at the center of all education system student competence, providing comfortable, conflict-free conditions of its development, realization of natural and acquired potentials. The construction of a competence-based educational process presupposes the orientation of the training space on the competence sphere of students. The studied experience makes it possible to identify competencebased “platforms”, as well as the main “landmarks” for teaching a foreign language to future experts of non-linguistic specialties. Not only the general English language course, which is quite universal for all specialties, but also the professionally-oriented course, which depends on the chosen specialty in the higher education institution, acquires great importance in the training of future non-language experts. The competence orientation of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties is to ensure proficiency in a foreign language within the framework of both everyday communication and in the specialty at a creative and professional level. Theoretical design of the formation of professional communicative competence of future non-language professionals in the process of learning a foreign language confirms the feasibility of the proposed method, allows us to theoretically justify its effectiveness.
