The complete message is available for downloading HERE

The survey document in pdf format is available for downloading HERE

The University of Antwerp and the Antwerp Maritime Academy , in co-operation with the Belgian maritime industry,

are conducting research into how linguistic and cultural elements impede and/or facilitate communication in the merchant marine.

 

On the basis of three short surveys the project aims to produce recommendations which will assist maritime professionals and lecturers in achieving efficient and successful communication. The first survey focuses on the linguistic aspects of communication.

The second survey considers the intercultural aspects of communication and the third is designed to assess the need for a standard means of communication. Your assistance in completing the corresponding questionnaires is therefore crucial to us.

 

We would greatly appreciate if you could complete and return the first questionnaire to us by the 10^th January 2010.

Within approximately six weeks we will send you the second part of the survey accompanied by our initial findings.

The questions have been strictly formulated and we estimate that answering them should take approximately 15 minutes of your time.

Please be assured that all data of a personal nature will be treated in strict confidence.

 

If you have access to the Internet, please complete the questionnaire online. The online questionnaire can be found at the following address:
