Abstract: The notion of twinning can refer to a number of things. Here, however, we re-fer to the specific recommendation by the IMO Model Course 3.17 – Maritime English, as also discussed by a number of recognized Maritime English instructors, anticipating the teaming of English teachers with teachers of technical subjects held on marine simulators. This recommendation coincides with contemporary trends in teaching English for Specific Purposes, such as Content-Based Instruction, Content and Language Integrated Learning and/or English as a Medium of Instruction. In particular, we provide specific examples of hybrid twinning classes conducted on marine engine simulators at the Faculty of Maritime Studies Kotor, University of Montenegro. Additional possibilities and pedagogical implications of the presented and related activities are also offered. We hope they can be of assistance and inspiration to other teachers involved in maritime education for upgrading their teaching methodologies as it has been the case with the authors.
