Legalese in Maritime English Curriculum
Maritime English is an example of ESP crucial to its users on board ships as much as a lifejacket. Nevertheless, some of its aspects have so far been neglected, and legalese is definitely one of them. The opinion has been confirmed lately upon the implantation of Manila Amendments to the 2006 MLC (Maritime Labour Convention) which has come into force on January 1, 2012. Seafarers on foreign ships with international crews commonly get a copy of the legal document on board their ships, but the drawback is that it is written in an English language different from the ESP they have been trained to use once afloat. Since the document of the kind is vitally important for seafarers to get acquainted with their rights on board during their contracts, they should be taught basics of legal English in the course of their education. Students should be taught the most common characteristics of the legal language and trained in the understanding of the specific lexis and syntax. For this purpose appropriate language exercises should be devised and implemented by Maritime English lecturers in higher education institutions.
