Annotation of CourseThe course Meteorology, Emergency Situations and Radio Communication Terminology and Language Practice is designed to introduce students to terminology related to meteorology, environmental protection, and emergency situations, as well as its use in professional communication contexts. During the course, students develop the ability to use specialized vocabulary both in written and oral communication while analyzing and interpreting meteorological information and conveying it clearly and accurately using professional language. The course also develops students� skills in using routine and emergency radio communication phrases in accordance with international communication standards and the principles of safe communication. Particular attention is given to practical language use, enabling students to communicate effectively in various professional situations, including critical or emergency contexts. The course also fosters intercultural communication skills and the ability to select appropriate linguistic means in different professional communication settings. Aim of Coursepon completion of the course, students shall be able to recognize and take into account intercultural differences during communication, ensuring clarity and mutual understanding in professional maritime settings. They will demonstrate proficiency in using environmental protection and meteorology terminology in both written and oral forms, applying it accurately in practical contexts. Students will be able to describe weather conditions at sea and along the coast in accordance with the Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) requirements and to interpret meteorological information effectively. They will develop the ability to understand and correctly interpret Navtex messages, which are essential for safe navigation. Students will also be capable of formulating routine and distress radio communication messages in a clear, precise, and context-appropriate manner. Additionally, they will acquire knowledge of the main principles of radio message formulation and the key terminology ass Distribution of course hours by study forms and waysFull-time studies: |
