The present study aimed to investigate cadets’ ESP knowledge affected by the newly-developed Deck Engineering ESP coursebook. Moreover, teachers’ viewpoints of the newly-developed coursebook were explored. Cadets’ perspectives were also examined regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the newly-developed coursebook. Forty Deck cadets were assigned to experimental (N = 20) and control (N = 20) groups. Additionally, four experienced ESP teachers took part in the study. The main instruments for data collection involved ESP pre-and post-test and structured interviews with ESP teachers and cadets. The findings revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control one. Qualitative analysis of ESP teachers’ structured interviews resulted in the emergence of three categories of 1) cadets’ real-life involvement in productive ESP activities; 2) cadets’ real-life involvement in receptive ESP activities; and 3) suggestion of extra communicative tasks. Structured interviews with cadets led to the elicitation of two main components, including 1) provision of ESP learning opportunities and 2) enhancement of group work and communicative activities. Finally, the main weak points expressed by cadets about the new coursebook included 1) shortage of ESP vocabulary exercises and 2) insufficient grammar tasks.

Evaluating employee performance is one of the key tasks of human resource managers. Lack of an effective performance appraisal system can have several negative consequences at the individual and organizational levels. Therefore, it is necessary for managers of organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of employee performance appraisal system using a comprehensive model and take the necessary measures to improve it.

The obtained model shows its compatibility with the research literature and is appropriate to the nature of the target organization and can increase the effectiveness of its performance appraisal system.

A proper understanding of a country's geographical location can have different effects on that country's national power, political behavior, and national interests. Today, the sea plays a major role in shaping a country's national power in international relations. Due to its location in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of ​​Oman and its proximity to the Caspian Sea, Iran has a special maritime position in the region and the world. Southeastern Iran, with its extraordinary economic, security, access, regional and international geopolitical capacities, has the functions of producing power in the country, which has been neglected so far, and despite having the above-mentioned potentials, is one of the most economically and socially underdeveloped regions in the country. Iran's naval power can experience a significant leap by using the resources and elements in this region. Finally, it will not be far from expected that the Islamic Republic of Iran will be able to use the capacities introduced on the coasts of Makran in order to promote naval power, with the right policies and appropriate strategies. The present research with a descriptive-analytical method seeks to determine the effect of utilizing the geopolitical capacities of Makran coasts on increasing Iran's naval power.
