ENGLISH FOR MARINE ENGINEERS: SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

The paper presents a sample of new teaching/learning materials for the language classroom activities of Marine Engineers in connection with the work on the project purposing to create the study pack for Maritime students beginning their academic career in Kyiv State Maritime Academy. The project is based on the concept of ‘early specialization’ which implies that the 1st and 2nd year students are taught both General English and Maritime English. This approach requires new teaching/learning materials (Student’s Book, Workbook, Teacher’s Book, Dictionary of Maritime Terms and others) to satisfy the needs of students in authentic communicative language resources.
