ESP language teaching programs for non-English speaking mariners should provide quality in navigational communication. Insufficient communication and coordination are the most dangerous failings in marine safety. This study adopted communicative language teaching (CLT), which is a recent trend in applied linguistics literature that views language learning as a fundamentally social, cultural, and temporal activity. Furthermore, this study sought to explain the importance of ESP language development programs for international maritime safety. Two aspects are essential in training mariners: repetition and clear expression. Two distinct methods are suggested for use in language teaching for international mariners, namely CLT and audio-lingualism.
