Integration of curriculum for English-language educational program (ELEP) at maritime educational and training institutions (METIs)

The current opinion article represents a set of recommendations and pieces of advice related to the development and integration of the curriculum of an English-language educational program (ELEP) at maritime education and training institutions (METIs). The title of the article implies integration of the curriculum of the educational program that would entirely be taught in the English language. In my opinion, such an educational program and its alumni would help METI meet the demands of the modern international maritime labour market. The paper could be interesting and useful for higher education institutions that are oriented on the complete transition of the educational process to an English-language educational program that would be delivered only in the English language. Nowadays there are a lot of educational institutions in the world where educational processes are mainly conducted in native language, and the recommendations given in the present opinion article could be applied by these institutions for the development of the curriculum of ELEP. Consideration of curriculum design is the main topic of the present paper that comprises the most significant issues and details of the topic.
