Economic issues are greatly impacted by globalization; as a result, trade between countries is growing quickly, and shipping is the most suitable means of transportation. Consequently, there is a growing need for proficient sailors who speak English, especially maritime English, in order to demonstrate clear communication and reduce accidents brought on by miscommunications between crew members and ships. For students in maritime schools, learning Maritime English (ME) terminology is a prerequisite to developing proper communication skills. Social media is one of the teaching strategies used with students at the maritime academy.   HIGHLIGHTS:
