description This research addresses the critical need to strengthen Maritime English proficiency in vocational education programs at maritime institutions in Indonesia. Language skills are essential for ensuring safety and efficiency in maritime operations. This study introduces and evaluates a learning framework designed to address gaps in traditional teaching methods, which often fall short in preparing students for real-world challenges and incorporating digital tools into the learning process. The primary focus of this research is to assess how improved language abilities influence operational performance, career opportunities, educational returns, and alignment with industry requirements. Using qualitative methods and descriptive analysis, insights were gathered from maritime professionals, educators, and senior cadets. The findings reveal a significant relationship between enhanced language proficiency and improved outcomes, including smoother operational workflows and more effective crisis response. Furthermore, advanced language abilities were shown to support career advancement and enable international opportunities within the maritime sector. The study emphasizes the need for curriculum updates to include practical, scenario-based training and the integration of digital tools to close existing gaps. Strengthening collaborations between education providers and industry stakeholders is identified as essential for equipping graduates with the necessary skills to excel in modern maritime roles. By implementing these strategies, institutions can ensure that graduates are well-prepared to contribute to global maritime safety and operational excellence.
