Maritime English for Marine Engineers I has been developed primarily for the field of marine engineering due to its extensive use of technical terminology. In addition, it offers significant value for students and professionals in other maritime disciplines, including Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Maritime Transportation and Management Engineering, Marine Technology Engineering, and Maritime Business Administration.
The book is structured in accordance with the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Convention. It integrates language instruction with engine room systems' technical and operational context, reflecting real-life onboard practices. The content is organized to align with a 14-week instructional program, with each chapter combining a specific grammar structure with a corresponding technical system.
Grammar topics such as verb tenses, modal verbs, the passive voice, conditionals, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and question forms are contextualized through engineering content, including the ship's main engine, diesel generators, boilers, compressors, pumps, separators, and freshwater generators. Additionally, chapters address routine engine room operations, hierarchical structures, technical instructions, engine room communication, and onboard safety and security.
The book includes technical explanations, contextualized sentence structures, professional dialogues, reading passages, practical exercises, and evaluation components. Ali content has been designed as an integrated whole to support both grammatical proficiency and the effective use of technical maritime English.
