Following a briefing on the use of relevant SMCP by means of an e-learning platform, students of Maritime English at several maritime universities participated in a virtual bridge team exercise. The communication patterns employed in their situational assessment and decision making were compared to previous low-fi simulations whereby participants had not received any briefing on the use of SMCP prior to the exercise [1] (cf. John et al., 2013). Based on the different features observed in both exercise settings, the scope for using a constructivist learning environment as offered by low-fi simulations is discussed and possibilities for an integral pedagogical approach towards teaching standard phraseology are outlined.}, year = {2014}, booktitle = {International Maritime English Conference (IMLA-IMEC)}, journal = {International Maritime English Conference (IMLA-IMEC)}, pages = {16}, month = {07/2014}, publisher = {Maritime Institute Willem Barentsz }, address = {Terschelling (The Netherlands)}, url = {https://www.pfri.uniri.hr/bopri/IMEC_Proceedings/PDF/IMEC26.pdf}, }
