“…ME is a division of English for specific purposes (ESP) [10] that covers "a range of academic and professional sectors, but also encompassing inter-ship, ship-to-shore and on-board communications" [11]. Tenkner [12] further elaborated that it is "the entirety of all those means of the English language which, being used as a device for communication within the international maritime community, contribute to the safety of navigation and the facilitation of the seaborne trade".…”

This study aims to obtain a critical review of the characteristics and trends in Maritime English (ME) research over the last four decades. This study contributes to a comprehensive analysis of ME based on Web of Science and Google Scholar databases by VOSviewer software. Bibliometric indicators including trends, authors, scholarly journals, references, and keywords were used in it. Results show that ME education and ME communication are the main themes in the ME research field. The International Maritime English Conference (IMEC), International Maritime Lecturers Association (IMLA), and maritime journals affiliated with maritime universities published most of the ME research articles. Most of the productive and influential scholars and academic institutions are concentrated in Europe. Quantitative analysis is the main research method in ME. The study promotes a comprehensive understanding of ME research globally and provides valuable insights into its prospects.

“…In recent years, researchers from around the world have conducted studies on the use of videos in English classes. Some of them study feature films as a tool for teaching the language [4], while others focus on YouTube short videos and podcasts [5; 6]. A number of researchers have chosen the use of multimedia educational platforms LearnWeb and TED (Technology, Entertain and Design) as the subject of their study [7; 8].…”

Methodology . The research covers such topics as advantages of using videos in English language teaching and criteria for their selection as well as preparation of video-related tasks. It also highlights specifics of using news video content as a tool for teaching English. Particular attention is paid to the use of video content in distance learning conditions. The examples of practical experience of using videos in English classes for thirdand fourth-year students studying “Transport Processes Technologies” in Admiral Makarov State Maritime University of Maritime an Inland Shipping in St. Petersburg are given. Results . The use of videos in distance learning classes has a significant number of advantages for students. The practice showed that the most interesting and effective to be used in online classes are newscasts. Conclusion . It is concluded that the process of class preparation using video materials is challenging for teachers, but at the same time that its use has a positive impact on their professional growth and on the effectiveness of the educational process.

The employment prospects for Bangladeshi seafarers in the global maritime industry have increased following several recognitions by international maritime regulatory bodies. To maintain the reputation of supplying competent English-speaking seafarers, the MET (Maritime Education and Training) institutes in Bangladesh require adopting a language policy and planning of Maritime English, as no such efforts have been made in this region. Therefore, this paper aims to draw lessons for the teaching and learning of English in maritime institutions in Bangladesh. Maritime institutions around the world have been unable to reach a consensus on the assessment methods, curriculum design, appropriate teaching materials, teaching methods, and qualifications of ME teachers. This paper addresses these areas of controversies through a language planning framework provided by Kaplan and Baldauf (Language and language-in-education planning in the Pacific Basin, Springer, Dordrecht, 2003). Through an integrative review, this paper advocates developing the communicative competence for the maritime students, giving equal emphasis on maritime and general English skills, being eclectic with the diverse selection of newer methods of teaching English, the creation of a unified curriculum, and the preparation of materials that meet the needs and cultural relevance of learners, setting qualifications for English teachers in the maritime sector, and adding a descriptor to the assessment system. The proposed language planning framework based on existing global practices will help the MET institutes in Bangladesh standardize their training and produce more efficient English-speaking seafarers.
