This document outlines a project to promote maritime English learning among students at a university in Venezuela through the creation of a wiki for a quiz bowl competition. The objectives are to encourage interaction, cooperation, creativity, autonomy and confidence in using English in a competitive setting. A wiki about quiz bowl rules, procedures, benefits and maritime English vocabulary would be created by both teachers and students. The quiz bowl would take place over the course of a semester and be assessed based on student participation and use of the wiki.
