With more and more multi-lingual and multicultural crews joining the transnational seafarers' maritime community, their competence in maritime English becomes a public concern. There is a need for maritime English lecturers to use some effective pedagogies. During the process of maritime English teaching in DMU, teachers found some teaching and learning problems relating to four macro skills in the English language communications. Regarding proper teaching techniques, suggestions are made to teach maritime English.
