Interview

Order Description PRE-TASK Talk to one person who has seen this context. They may be someone you are able to speak with face to face or if they are at a distance you might do this via Skype or other technology. Discuss with this person your ideas for how your chosen context might be developed and ask them what they thin" rel="nofollow">ink about your ideas and whether they would be useful for this settin" rel="nofollow">ing. This person is busy and you can only have 15-20 min" rel="nofollow">inutes of their time. You will need 5 min" rel="nofollow">inutes of this time to explain" rel="nofollow">in your project to them and five min" rel="nofollow">inutes to gain" rel="nofollow">in ethical clearance. As you are explorin" rel="nofollow">ing rather than testin" rel="nofollow">ing your ideas, you opt for an unstructured in" rel="nofollow">interview as your research in" rel="nofollow">instrument. In preparin" rel="nofollow">ing for the in" rel="nofollow">interview, you should construct a set of potential issues that you could use to encourage your selected person to talk about the relevance of your claims for in" rel="nofollow">individuals of different ages, contexts, and purposes. In your discussion, you should encourage your in" rel="nofollow">interviewee to thin" rel="nofollow">ink about these new ideas and in" rel="nofollow">initiatives of yours, and how they will affect learners (help/not help or even hin" rel="nofollow">inder them) to become effective communicators. (You will need to be sensitive to the needs and abilities of the speaker if askin" rel="nofollow">ing “why”). You are to audio-record your in" rel="nofollow">interview and transcribe key excerpts of this as data that you will use as evidence. Your transcription should follow standard conversational analysis conventions. Your in" rel="nofollow">interview may be in" rel="nofollow">in a language other than English, but, if so, you will ALSO need to translate the data that you use as evidence in" rel="nofollow">into English. The translation will not be part of the word count. You do not have to provide a complete transcript of the in" rel="nofollow">interview. TASK On the basis of this in" rel="nofollow">interview, write a reflection, drawin" rel="nofollow">ing out the implications the in" rel="nofollow">interview had on your origin" rel="nofollow">inal views. This reflection must address the followin" rel="nofollow">ing questions. The length of each section will depend on your data. 1. To what extent did the in" rel="nofollow">interview support your in" rel="nofollow">initial ideas? 2. What unanticipated issues emerged of theoretical or practical importance? 3. What changes would you now make after pilotin" rel="nofollow">ing your research?
