"MarEngine English Underway” is a Marine Engineering English handbookintended for different audiences. The bookcan be used bynovice teachers of ME, particularly at Marine Engineering faculties and colleges, who are not engineers but professional language teachers and who just happened in their life career to be confronted with a challenge of teaching English within difficult marine engineering terms and concepts. Also the handbook canbe used as a practice teaching tool or for self-studying. It definitely would help students to visualize and organize thematic content of marine engineering vocabulary. All the readings are followed by a number of practice tasks which are provided with answer keys. The handbook is intended for learners who have at least the basic knowledge of the common English sentence structure and vocabulary.
