The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with maritime experts and educators, and quantitative assessments of language proficiency and operational effectiveness. Findings demonstrate the framework's efficacy in enhancing communication skills crucial for safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in maritime operations. Educational implications include its role in curriculum development and professional training through simulation-based learning. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess sustained impact and collaboration with industry stakeholders to refine the framework to meet evolving industry needs. The Multiliteracy Framework represents a pivotal advancement in applied linguistics and maritime education, fostering practical skills and preparing seafarers to navigate diverse communication challenges at sea.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.19.04.14}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {} }
