  1. Interview: How well can international students cope in a foreign environment, eg china?

  2. How to conduct the interview • Have different types of questions, open ended and closed questions. • Descriptive will allow them to first get to know the interviewee. • Compare life events before and after

  3. Different types of questions • Descriptive • Used to obtain large amount of information about event or a place • E.g “Can you describe your school common room for me?”

  4. Different types of questions • Structural • Try to understand the meaning of concepts • Contrast • Compare events and ideas from one another. • E.g difference between homework and schoolwork

  5. What to consider BEFORE, DURING, AFTER? • Have them know that it might be recorded • Let them know that whatever they say is going to be recorded and they have the right to withdraw anytime • Have a therapist ready in case of emotional breakdown of sensitive topics • Researcher should make participants feel comfortable telling them everything, by being nice, sitting at an angle, not facing them directly. Get a drink for the participant. Prepare these things before the interview. • Check that the Recording device is recording

  6. What to consider BEFORE, DURING, AFTER? • The gender, size, age and ethnicity should be matched when conducting the interview especially during sensitive topics e.g. sexual assault. Supported by Rosenthal (1966) • Confidentially needs to be assured when talking about sensitive topics because some of the information they give, interviewers feel a responsibility to pass on to authorities.

  7. What to consider BEFORE, DURING, AFTER? • Maybe could record the interview • Record voice • Don’t take notes because it may distract the participant • If notes are taken, have the parcitipant transcribe it later on • Maintain eye contact

  8. What to consider BEFORE, DURING, AFTER? • Participants are allowed to view the transcribed material so they can change anything which they feel is wrong • Two types of transcription should be allowed, vertim or postmodern techniques. • Make sure all questions are covered.

  9. What to consider BEFORE, DURING, AFTER? • Debrief the participants (include what is to be done with the recorded information, who is to handle it etc) • Important to talk to participants during analysis process to confirm what they said.
