description The importance of studying terminology in maritime higher educational institutions is beyond any doubt. Poor proficiency in professional English vocabulary may cause problems in communication between multinational crew and threaten the safety of life, ship and cargo at sea. Thus, mastering of the vocabulary is and will always be the main direction in teaching a foreign language for professional purposes. The paper analyzes the main types of lexical units that form the termbase of maritime English. Effective ways of mastering professional vocabulary are provided. At the same time, it is noted that teaching shall be provided and complied with the terms of a professionally oriented approach, where all decisions regarding the selection of the syllabus are coordinated with the professionally oriented communicative requirements of cadets. It means that the cadets study lexical units which are required for further application in specific areas and situations, taking into account the professional direction.The special lexical units that are considered as a substantial component of a special lexical competence which acts as an integrative phenomenon and has level structure and includes knowledge about special lexical units, skills of using studied special lexical units in a given communicative context are discussed. Some aspects of marine terminology which are necessary for cadets’ familiarization when studying the course “Foreign language (English)” have been considered.It is noted that a combination of various tactics and teaching methods with the use of illustrative materials to the use of original professional documents such as ship's instructions, checklists and others is useful and productive when studying professional English terminology. The combination of all these methods will allow the cadets to have an integral “linguistic” pattern of their future profession, from individual words and word combinations to the functioning of lexical units in a real professional language.
