Maritime English For Turkish Seafarers 1 - Müjgan Özenir

MARITIME ENGLISH FOR TURKISH SEAFARERS -1

In the case of working in the oceans, we are likely to meet many people from

different countries and cultures. English is not a language we should know but

already a must in our social life; in other words English is the right tool to get

our freedom let alone our professional life and status. Unless you have the

competency in English you are regarded to be illiterate, as English is the lingua

franca of seafaring. Therefore this book aims to prepare cadets for marine life

making guidance in reading, writing and speaking, and making use of google on

a specific theme.

While compiling the materials, sequencing objectives in this book, my personal

experience of teaching cadets for over 20 years backed me up besides the

feedback from my cadets of ITUMF who have been at sea and at faculty.
