(Abstract)
(Resumo)
The ethnic and linguistic make-up of international seafarers has undergone some profound changes over the past half century or so.A composição étnica e lingüística dos marítimos internacionais passou por algumas mudanças profundas ao longo do último meio século.
It is a fact that the learning of English as a second language comes easier to some than to others. There is clearly the factor of personal language learning aptitude, but other aspects play a role also.
É fato que o aprendizado do inglês como segunda língua é mais fácil para alguns do que para outros. Existe claramente o fator de aptidão pessoal para o aprendizado de idiomas, mas outros aspectos também desempenham um papel.
If the linguistic background of a person lies in the Teutonic language branch then he or she will generally have little difficulty in grasping English relatively fast.
Se o histórico linguístico de uma pessoa estiver no ramo da língua teutônica, ela geralmente terá pouca dificuldade em compreender o inglês relativamente rápido.
More challenging is the learning of the tongue for someone from one of the other five branches of the Indo-European languages such as Indian, Persic, Celtic, Graeco-Latin or Slavonic.
Mais desafiador é o aprendizado da língua para alguém de um dos outros cinco ramos das línguas indo-européias, como indiano, persa, celta, greco-latino ou eslavo.
Harder still is the acquisition of English for persons whose mother tongue belongs to the families of Altaic, Sino-Tibetan or Afro-Asiatic languages.
Mais difícil ainda é a aquisição do inglês para pessoas cuja língua materna pertence às famílias das línguas altaica, sino-tibetana ou afro-asiática.
Where the usage of a codified language – as in the "Standard Maritime Communication Phrases (SMCP)" – is concerned such fundamental differences may seem of little consequence as phrases are short and simple in terms of language structure.
No que diz respeito ao uso de uma linguagem codificada - como nas "Frases Padrão de Comunicação Marítima (SMCP)" - essas diferenças fundamentais podem parecer de pouca importância, pois as frases são curtas e simples em termos de estrutura de linguagem.
However, even here pronunciation remains a serious problem with some speakers from a NESB, non-English-speaking background.
No entanto, mesmo aqui, a pronúncia continua sendo um problema sério com alguns falantes de NESB, que não falam inglês.
More importantly, miscommunication can occur due to the fact that language is not just a code.
Mais importante, a falta de comunicação pode ocorrer devido ao fato de que a linguagem não é apenas um código.
Communication is embedded within culture and therefore culturally orientated.
A comunicação está inserida na cultura e, portanto, culturalmente orientada.
This paper is trying to shed some light on the difficulties and problems some learners of English are confronted with and to what degree seafarers of different ranks should be competent in the four linguistic skills.
Este artigo está tentando lançar alguma luz sobre as dificuldades e problemas com os quais alguns alunos de inglês se deparam e até que ponto os marítimos de diferentes níveis devem ser competentes nas quatro habilidades linguísticas.

- Subject + had better + Base Form + …
- Subject + had better not + Base Form + …
(1) ‘d better (after "subject" or "I, You, He, She, We, You, They")
(2) Base Form é o infinitivo sem o “to”:
(3) NEGATIVA FORM: had better not ("better" comes before "not").
➽Why do we use "had better"?:
(1) Had better expresses "advice to do something", and means "would find it wiser or more suitable".
- You had better go now (=it would be good, wise or suitable for you to go now).
