English Course Framework 1.1 Aims

In reference to the IMO model course for Maritime English, this course fulfils the competences regarding English language contained in the STCW Convention, 1978, as amended in 1995. The syllabus is designed for trainees who have a lower intermediate or intermediate level of English. The maritime content for this course includes all the requirements in the STCW 1995 Code regarding the tasks that seafarers are expected to be able to carry out in English. Mastering Maritime English at the required level is an essential career tool that permits mobility, flexibility and competitiveness in action and behavior. Because the maritime content aims to cover all the requirements of STCW 1995, the instructor will need to select and adapt the topics to suit the needs of the trainees. 1.2 Objective(s) The objectives of the IMO English course are to: • develop trainees' ability to use English to at least intermediate language level; • ensure that trainees possess the knowledge, understanding and proficiency in English set out in the STCW 1995 Code; • provide instructors with a suggested framework for introducing selected topics from the Standard Marine Communication Phrases, as required by STCW 1995; • give trainees wide-ranging opportunities to practice communicating in English for both maritime and general purposes; • promote the study skills essential for continuing independent learning at sea. 1.3 Entry standards Trainees admitted to this course must have a lower intermediate standard of English at least. A broad definition of levels of proficiency in English indicates that:

• Lower intermediate: can communicate satisfactorily about everyday topics with a restricted range of language. Able to understand native speakers of English talking at a measured pace with some rephrasing and repetition. Comprehension is likely to fail under pressure.

• Intermediate: at ease communicating about everyday topics and more abstract concepts. Makes some mistakes but he/she is usually able to correct any major errors, which prevent him being understood. Able to understand the essence of native speaker English but may misunderstand detail.

Trainees must demonstrate that they understand and are able to use all the items of grammar, vocabulary and phonology. They should also prove that they could carry out the tasks in the Communication skills with reasonable fluency and accuracy. 1.4 Staff Requirements As a minimum, instructors, supervisors and assessors must: 1. Have an appropriate level of knowledge and understanding of the competence(s) for which the training is being conducted; 2. Be holder of appropriate certificate in the task(s) for which the training is being conducted; 3. Have gained practical experience in the task(s) for which the training is being conducted.

2

The instructor will be a qualified teacher of English language who has been trained in the Communicative Approach to English language teaching and who has a broad understanding of maritime subjects. 1.5 Course intake limitations Course intake should be limited to not more than twenty trainees to allow the instructor to monitor and give proper attention to each trainee. 1.6 Teaching facilities and equipment As a minimum basic requirement for English teaching, the classroom should be equipped with a good quality white/chalkboard; a supply of good quality whiteboard markers/chalk; a tape recorder with speakers suited to the size of the room and a reliable power supply or batteries; a video recorder, video projector, folding screen or computer and LCD. The instructor will also require access to photocopying facilities, paper and a supply of authentic English language maritime resources, according to the Bibliography in this English course. 1.7 Bibliography 1.7.1 IMO References (R)

2 Course outline and timetable 2.1 Lectures The course consists of 10 units, which are divided into three parts. At the end of each part (i.e. after every 5 units), there is a review unit to allow trainees the opportunity to revise and consolidate their learning to date. Instructors may also want to conduct assessments of the trainees' progress at these points. Each of the 10 units consists of 5 areas covering language systems, language communication skills and supplementary maritime topics. In order for trainees to reach the required levels of competence, it is the instructor's responsibility to ensure that trainees are proficient in all of the language systems in every unit. It is vital that trainees are given sufficient time and appropriate practice to ensure genuine competence in the use of English. 2.2 Course outline Competence 1: Understanding and applying STCW95 standards Course outline Approximate Time
