The Impact Of Labour Market On Esp Courses For Marine Engineers
Keywords:
ESP curriculum design, digital transformation, AI in maritime education, MOODLE-based instructionAbstract
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the modern maritime labor market (e.g., crewing agencies, shipowner companies) on the development of ESP courses for future ship engineers on LMS MOODLE. The technologies and concepts that are central to the Fourth Industrial Revolution were listed in the research. It was highlighted that the requirements for ESP are growing. An analysis of recent research and publications has been done. The research was conducted on the base of Kherson State Maritime Academy, Ukraine. The results of the research proved Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in the maritime industry. It was also proved that ESP programs constantly change from time to time due to the changes in the labor market.
