Sažetak
Between 2015 and 2017, surveys were conducted at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split and at Gdynia Maritime Training Centre, aiming to provide credible insights into the needs, wants, expectations and views of the seafaring marine engineer officers on English courses they attended, and to provide the answer to the key issue in this ESP (English for Specific Purposes) teaching / learning process – Is it possible to find the middle ground where general English could serve as the infrastructure for building the superstructure of specific key language competences for the marine engineers? The surveyed seafarers feel that ESP classes should focus on developing communication skills and that due consideration should be given to the proper use of tenses and other grammatical items. On the other hand, a large majority of respondents expect English teachers to have a good understanding of the career content and to be familiar with specialist terminology, ship engine systems and processes, latest technologies, regulations, safety standards etc. The results of the research imply that the various aspects of the ESP process should be harmonised and carefully metered when (re)designing ESP activities and syllabi, and may serve as the groundwork for further research.
