Finding your interviewees:
- A foreigner who comes from a different culture and is willing to do the interview with you in English.
- Approach your potential interviewee politely (self introduction) and explain the purpose and objectives of your Interview-recording Project clearly. Your objectives are to explore more about cultural differences and language learning experiences.
- Make sure that your interviewee consents to do this interview recording for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Ideally, each one of you is expected to generate at least three minutes of interactive conversation with your interviewee.
Be Prepared to start your interview. Please think of the following questions:
- What questions are related to the chapter you are assigned?
- Are your questions culturally appropriate?
- How do you elicit your interviewee's response without causing offensive feelings?
- How do you clarify what you meant if your interviewee doesn't understand you?
- How do you clarify the doubt that arises in your conversation?
Prepare and check on your recording gadgets:
- Power check. (Are the batteries for your recorder fully recharged?)
- Volume test
- Pause and noise check.
While doing the recording:
- Briefly give an opening introduction of yourself and your interviewee. As group cooperative work, each one of your may be in charge of two to three questions. Don't forget to introduce yourself and greet your interviewee before you ask questions.
- Ask follow-up questions to deepen or continue your conversation. They are based on the answers given by your interviewee. From this part, I'll see your sound interactions and understanding with your interviewee toward the whole recording process.
Control your time. - Finish your Q and A in time. Do not "drag" the whole interview process.
Presentation - Show your PowerPoint with the transcript of your interview contents.
- Explain the processes
- Briefly talk about your reflection of this project
