Although many seafarers bring some understanding of maritime English to the workplace, their language skills may not be sufficient for communicating instructions and commands. This deficiency is most apparent among multi-national crews in emergency situations when language accuracy is critica ‘When inability to communicate in a common language affects performance, pro-active language training becomes a necessity. Language training for seafarers has traditionally focused on technical vocabulary and navigational phraseology while practice in the basic communication skills necessary for fluency and confidence is often neglected. Training in these basic language skills eftables the seafarer to activate and build upon his existing knowledge. ‘The Marlins Study Pack has been produced in response to the need for improved standards of communication at sea. This self-study course is the result of four years of research and teaching involving hundreds of seafarers of all ranks from around the world. It is designed to meet the learning needs of seafarers and to help companies implement effective English language training policies. ‘+ The Marlins Study Pack focuses on general English within a familiar maritime context. + The Marlins Study Pack is an accessible tool which allows the seafarer to take control of his ‘own learning through independent study. + The Marlins Study Pack provides companies with the means to comply with legislative requirements by offering crews a proven system of English language training, Marlins English for Seafarers 1 Introduction Background Learners using the Marlins Study Pack are expected to have an elementary level of English. They should be able to read the Roman alphabet, be familiar with some basic vocabulary and recognise simple spoken English ‘While the material can be used on shore, the seafareris encouraged to use the Marlins Study Pack at sea. Ie is assumed thatthe seafarer will nt have access to language teacher or native English speakers on board. The materials therefore designed to give the earner sufficient support to complete the study pack independently. “The Learner (One of the main advantages of self-study is thatthe learner has direct access to the material at any time. Selfscudy also allows the student to use the material at his own pace, direct his own learning by focusing on dificult language areas and ‘monitor progress with other learners using the study pack. It's important to fallow the units in che study pack in the order they appear. The Marlins Study Pack is most comprehensible and effective ifthe earner begins at Unit | and completes all ofthe exercises ina consecutive ordet throughout the pack? The material has been designed to build upon itself, integrating grarmmat, new vocabulary and functional language “To assist the learner, an accompanying audio cassette has been provided. The audio material isan integral pat of the course and is used in conjunction with a variety of exercise types. Ifthe lexmer is having difficulty with listening, ‘comprehension, the tapescripts are conveniently located in the Answer Key. A notepad has also been provided to keep an ongoing record of work. The learner can use the notepad to practise writing, to draft or repeat answers, or to make notes about new grammar concepts and vocabulary from other textbooks. I is strongly recommended thae learners use a good bilingual dictionary in conjunction with the Marlins Study Pack ‘The leamer should pay special attention to the pairork activities indicated in each unit. The role ofa study partner is crucial in developing all language skills while aiding language acquisition, Working with a partner promotes fluency and accuracy and improves communication strategies. Structure and Organisation “The Marlins Scudy Pack has been divided into three pats, There are seven units in each part with a subsequent review that consolidates the material to that point. Division of Parts ‘The intention of each pat isco develop a set of communicative functions that include essential vocabulary, grammar and practice. Bach part has a distinct focus + Part 1 (Units 1-7) reinforces previous knowledge of intial grammar concspts and functional vocabulary within a familiar maritime context. + Part2 (Units 8:14) builds and extends the application of basic English in familiar contexts by incorporating a ‘wider range of language functions and introducing more complex chemes. + Part3 (Units 15-21) expands language structures and encourages manipulation ofthese structures in new context Composition of Units: Presentation, Practice, Production “The overall framework ofeach unit is: + realistic presentation of integrated grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation + structured practice of language and skills through relevant exercises + exxended production activities which review and consolidate the language learned Marlins English for Seafarers | Symbols Six symbols ae used to guide che learner: “This symbol indicates speaking practice and often refers to pronunciation exercises. ‘The use of Ml in pronunciation exercises indicts word ses paterns while ”V shows how sounds ae linked in connected speech, ‘This symbol indicates thatthe leaner should listen to the relevant audio extract.
