China has a large population and Chinese seafarers are fourth in the world. But the number of senior seafarers in China is not much. This is related to Chinese seafarers' English proficiency. Therefore, as a vocational college, we should pay more attention to maritime English teaching for students. In this paper, we analyzed the present situation of the of nautical English teaching in Hainan higher vocational colleges, and then put forward some suggestions on how to promote the nautical English teaching more effectively according to the actual situation of nautical English course in Hainan normal university. Sailing Has the characteristics of internationalization, so English is of great significance to the seafarer’s life. As the core course of marine technology, the goal of the nautical course is to train the sailing technical students to communicate, express and co-work in English in the work of ocean-going vessels. Hainan marine vocational colleges have always attached importance to nautical English teaching. But in recent years, there are still some problems in nautical English course teaching by the comprehensive impact of various factors. How to solve these problems effectively is very worth pondering. Problems in nautical English Courses in Hainan Higher Vocational Colleges Unreasonable teacher structure. Most sailing professional teachers in Vocational college are hired due to the increased enrollment. A large part of these teachers are graduates from the English major of Normal University, not the students of the maritime profession Most of them are English graduates from normal university. Therefore, these teachers are not very familiar with the professional knowledge of navigation and the teacher structure is not reasonable. First, the teacher's age structure is unreasonable. Teachers play an important role in the nautical English course, which directly determines the quality of teaching process. According to the provisions of the state on the structure of teachers, the most reasonable teacher age structure should be 2: 3: 5. However, according to the survey, the age of nautical English teachers are under 35 years of age in most vocational colleges. Second, the title structure is unreasonable. There are few deputy senior nautical English teachers in most of the vocational colleges. Most of the teachers are intermediate teachers. Therefore, it is difficult to make the old teachers help the new teachers. Finally, the knowledge structure is unreasonable. In most of the vocational colleges, the nautical English teacher is graduated from the undergraduate normal university where they major in English.,And they are grounding in English. But they have little knowledge of professional maritime. STCW78 /95 has a very clear standard for seafarers' English proficiency. But we have no policies for the training and qualifications for teachers in our country. In this case, the standards for vocational colleges to teachers is not very clear, which led to the quality of teachers varies greatly. The teaching content of the nautical English course is very rich. But some nautical English teachers cannot explain the relevant maritime terminology thoroughly. The teaching methods adopted by these teachers are still the same as ordinary English teaching. They explain and translate vocabulary 2017 3rd International Conference on Economy, Management and Education Technology (ICEMET 2017) Copyright © (2017) Francis Academic Press, UK 97 first, and then analyze and translate the sentences. This kind of teaching mode based on the translation can help students master some basic knowledge and translation skills,but the use of enhancing the use of language skills is very small, far enough to meet the requirements of the syllabus for students usually communication. Therefore, some schools make maritime professional teachers teach nautical English, but the English ability of maritime professional teacher is less, so its teaching effect is also general. The foundation of students is week. Compared with undergraduate students, Higher vocational college students’ English foundation is relatively weak. First of all, under the call of the state, the vocational colleges have expanded the scale of enrollment. Therefore, a very weak foundation of English students also have access to vocational colleges. This situation will inevitably affect the after English learning. In addition, most of the maritime industry choose boys in the admissions. And boys are more likely to be lack of English ability compared with girls, and thus to a certain extent, the students lead to the overall level of low English. Nautical English teaching plan is unreasonable. The materials and content of nautical English will affect the quality of teaching to a large extent. There are great shortcomings in the preparation of nautical English textbooks in China at now. According to the survey, the English teaching materials used in the maritime specialties of various vocational colleges in Hainan are basically written by English teachers engaged in maritime majors. There will be some incompatibility in using this kind of teaching materials. Professional nautical English textbook preparation system is immature, and there are few teaching auxiliary materials, especially the videos and tapes for some students to listen and o practice are scarce. The ways of nautical English teaching is single. Nautical English courses are not the same as general English courses. It is a course that integrates English and maritime professional knowledge. Besides the most basic industry terminology, professional vocabulary and special grammatical structure, the students also need to master a more comprehensive maritime expertise. So it is relatively boring for its learning. This makes a higher demand for teachers' teaching. Teachers need to explore more effective teaching methods to stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm. But the current nautical English teachers still take the traditional infusion of teaching methods, so that students learning enthusiasm reduced greatly. Suggestions on Effective Teaching of nautical English Courses in Hainan Higher Vocational Colleges Optimizing the Teacher Structure of Maritime English Course. In order to optimize the teacher structure of nautical English teachers, it is necessary to introduce and train a group of professional nautical English teachers to promote the optimization and upgrading of teachers' structure. At present, some vocational colleges advocate the "professional teacher English" and "English teacher specialization" construction. This is an important step to promote the optimization of English teacher structure. Specifically, the construction needs to be carried out from the
