Creating minimum Maritime English vocabulary

The contribution is a continuation of the paper on a similar subject presented at IMEC 19. The work aims to involve the Maritime English teacher in the process of creating the technical vocabulary within the syllabus and to engage subject teachers in determining the minimum vocabulary needed for the requirements of the IMO STCW 95 for separate levels - with particualre reference to maritime law (pilotage). In the introductory part the principles of creating the minimum technical vocabulary will be presented. In Stage 2 of session, working in four groups, the participants are expected to do some lexical research and practical work in determining the minimum technical vocabulary following the requirements of the three levels according to IMO STCW 98 by making reference to the four types of vocabulary presented at IMEC 20: GSL, AWL, general technical vocabulary, specific maritime vocabulary. A copy of the sample study text will be delivered to each group member. In Stage 3 each group is to create and present one vocabulary learning activities for one specific STCW level, applying the communicative approach, and subsequently try them out within the group and possibly with other groups. This may involve use of the resources from the notebooks and the internet, if available. The group results will be compared with those obtained from experts in the field (masters and pilots). Finally, the groups are to propose the conclusions.
