In vocational English classes, a lot of attention has traditionally and reasonably been paid to subject-related news articles. Artificial intelligence (AI) based platforms, and particularly the Twee resource, are able to facilitate the teacher’s work in this regard. However, there is not enough research on the effectiveness of this resource, especially in the context of teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP), namely Maritime English. The purpose of this study is to analyze the way the Twee resource handles news texts, to evaluate its benefits for teachers, and to determine which of its functions are most important in classes planning. Methodology. Reviews and analyzes the examples of specific tasks generated with the help of Twee resource on the basis of maritime news texts, the most successful of which have been used in classes for senior students studying Transport Process Technologies at State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping (SUMIS), as well as provides an overview of maritime news periodicals suitable for classroom use. Results. The experience of using the Twee resource in preparing ESP classes has shown that the platform is prompt and to some degree successful in generating tasks based on news articles, though some of the tasks do not prove to be accurate. A greater number of challenges are found in reading comprehension tasks, as well as in vocabulary activities involving polysemantic lexical units. Conversely, pre-reading tasks as well as follow-up assignments have proved to be the most successful. Conclusion. The Twee resource, along with other AI-based platforms, can significantly facilitate the teacher’s work when preparing for classes and is reasonably popular among English language teachers. Despite this fact it is still the teacher who should verify the results of the platform’s work and who determines the success of using the tasks created with the help of AI.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Постановка проблемы. На занятиях по профессионально ориентированному английскому языку традиционно и оправданно уделяется большое внимание работе с новостными статьями. Платформы, созданные на основе искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), в частности Twee, могут облегчить труд преподавателя в подготовке к этим занятиям, однако вопрос успешности использования данного ресурса все еще недостаточно хорошо изучен, особенно в контексте обучения морскому английскому. Цель данного исследования - проанализировать работу ресурса Twee c новостными текстами, оценить его пользу для преподавателей, определить, какие его возможности наиболее значимы при планировании занятий. Методология. Рассматриваются и анализируются примеры конкретных заданий, созданных с помощью ресурса Twee на базе морских новостных текстов, наиболее удачные из которых применены на занятиях со студентами старших курсов Государственного университета морского и речного флота им. адмирала С.О. Макарова, обучающихся по направлению «Технологии транспортных процессов». Также дается обзор новостных журналов морской направленности, подходящих для использования в учебном процессе. Результаты. Опыт использования ресурса Twee при подготовке занятий по профессионально ориентированному английскому языку показал, что данная платформа быстро и отчасти успешно справляется с генерацией заданий на основе новостных статей, однако не все задания оказываются корректными. Множество вопросов вызывают задания на понимание прочитанного, а также лексические упражнения, включающие полисемантические лексические единицы. В свою очередь, наиболее успешными оказываются подготовительные вопросы, а также дополнительные задания, предлагаемые студентам в конце занятия. Заключение. Ресурс Twee наряду с другими платформами, созданными на основе ИИ, способен значительно облегчить труд преподавателя при подготовке к занятиям и оправданно пользуется популярностью среди преподавателей английского языка, что не отменяет важности проверки результатов его работы, а также того факта, что именно от преподавателя зависит успешность применения заданий, созданных с помощью ИИ.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>Twee neuro network</kwd><kwd>vocational English</kwd><kwd>maritime news articles</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>нейросеть Twee</kwd><kwd>профессионально ориентированный английский язык</kwd><kwd>морские новостные статьи</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ekstrand MD, Wright KL, Pera MS.
