Sažetak
The aim of this workshop is to show how authentic materials (for instance weather reports, VHF recordings, etc.) can be used and implemented in classroom when teaching Maritime English. In order for our students to become communicatively competent and prepared for real life situations onboard, we have chosen authentic materials that may be encountered onboard and implemented them in the classroom. The materials have been adapted to our student’s level of knowledge and previous experience with sailing and English. The teaching methodology closely follows Model Course 3.17 issued by the IMO. Maritime topics which are relevant and up-to-date have been integrated into this workshop, and the content is based upon and connected to the syllabi of other departments at our Faculty. This approach is highly student centred, where the teacher’s role is that of a guide directing students and alleviating understanding of the subject matter (reception) and usage of the same (production). Participants at this workshop will be actively involved in specifically tailored and methodologically adapted pair and group work activities, which will give an idea of how the same is realized in our classroom.
