The purpose of this research article is to prepare future specialists of civil maritime and river fleets for professional interviews in English. Special attention is paid to computer-assisted learning as a key support tool in mastering lexical and grammatical structures for future professional communication. The study highlights the need to train personnel for work in mixed crews and emphasizes the importance of language competence in preventing miscommunication, facilitating rapid decision-making in non-standard situations, and ensuring maritime safety in compliance with international standards. The effectiveness of English language training depends on a comprehensive approach incorporating various e-learning technologies tailored to individual learners, including maritime academy cadets and professional training course attendees. While the instructor’s role remains crucial in the educational process, modern conditions necessitate the development of e-learning as the most efficient type of technical training aids. Computer-based learning technology (CBLT) integrates pedagogy, computer science, and systems engineering, with interdisciplinary connections serving as its foundation. From a technological perspective, training is conducted within an e-learning framework involving two primary interaction models: «learner – CBLT» and «instructor – CBLT – learner». Certain learning management procedures can be automated by educational software, enabling both training and assessment modes.

Key words: computer-assisted English language training; professional selection; company interview; civil maritime specialist; shipping companies; didactic design procedures
