The results of the analysis of the teaching material needs obtained show that basically the teaching materials have been provided by the lecturers, but have not been provided systematically in form of module or book. Students do not have teaching materials to handle and study them at home. The findings of this study will be used to develop and improve Maritime English teaching materials in the D4 Nautical study program.
