Abstract

Effective communication is vital for ensuring safety, efficiency, and teamwork in multicultural maritime environments. However, cultural differences often create communication barriers that extend beyond language. This study aims to identify intercultural communication barriers between Indonesian and South Korean seafarers and to propose English learning strategies for seafarers, based on intercultural communication principles, to enhance linguistic competence and cultural awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observations involving eight Indonesian seafarers who had worked with Korean crews. Thematic analysis with NVivo 12 identified recurring patterns of communication barriers and adaptive strategies. Findings revealed five dominant barriers: language, hierarchy, communication style, work ethics, and cultural sensitivity. To address these challenges, six pedagogical strategies for Maritime English instruction are proposed, including Task-Based Language Learning, simulation and role-play, collaborative and reflective learning, technology integration, and intercultural awareness modules. This study contributes to the development of Maritime English education by embedding intercultural communication principles into English learning for seafarers, preparing them to communicate more effectively, respectfully, and professionally in diverse global maritime workplaces. By understanding these barriers, practical solutions and improved strategies can foster more effective intercultural interaction among seafarers from these two distinct cultural backgrounds.

Abstract

This study investigates how intercultural communication development can be integrated into Maritime English professional communication competence within Indonesian maritime vocational education. Employing a qualitative design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 maritime communication experts, 18 maritime English lecturers, and 15 recent maritime graduates from three maritime polytechnic institutions. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, cross-group comparison, and narrative synthesis. The findings identify five thematic dimensions: multilingual professional communication demands, culturally situated discourse competence, multimodal instructional integration, industry-aligned communicative assessment, and intercultural experiential learning gaps. Cross-group analysis revealed that experts prioritized regulatory and operational communication standards, lecturers emphasized pedagogical constraints in teaching cultural dimensions, and graduates reported persistent inadequacy in real-world intercultural maritime encounters. The study contributes a conceptually grounded framework for embedding intercultural communication within Maritime English curricula, arguing that professional communication competence in maritime contexts requires the integration of linguistic, discursive, cultural, and situational knowledge dimensions beyond conventional English for Specific Purposes approaches. These findings suggest that future research should examine the implementation of intercultural communication-based Maritime English curricula, evaluate pedagogical interventions such as simulation and experiential learning, and conduct comparative or longitudinal studies across different maritime education systems to strengthen global understanding of intercultural communication competence in maritime professional education.
