dc.description.abstractMaritime English learning cannot only focus on linguistic knowledge (Xue-qing You, IMEC, 2012) but should foster the student’s communicative competence. The present paper aims to present Maritime English teaching materials resulting from research work carried out on board vessels and in port terminals both related to shipping and seafaring. Following guidelines from STCW 95, IMO Model Course 3.17 and SMCP, considering true relationship between seafarers’ communication skills and Safety at Sea, the author has developed a teaching approach relying on simulation of realistic situations on board. Having been tested for 2 years it proved to be satisfactory relying on students’ feedback. In Portugal, there has been a predominance of traditional teaching in Maritime English classes, mostly based on learning technical/marine terminology and grammar, with no definition of language levels. Presently, the 4 modules of Maritime English range from levels A2 to C1, according to EFRL. The higher levels (B2 to C1) of Maritime English, are a cross-reference of language skills consolidation and specific subjects such as Navigation and Seamanship. Role-playing is then the backbone of the ME lessons. The author agrees that learning takes place when activities are engaging and memorable (Ladousse, 1987). Simulation and role-playing in ESP learning presents significant advantages namely motivation, integrated learning, use of the language and rehearsal oportunities whereas the teacher’s role can be of a Facilitator, a Spectator and a Participant In addition, Error Correction (self-correction / peer correction) by watching video recording of role-playing sessions is highly instructive for students.pt_PT
