New Objectives for the interview

Before the Interview:
  1. Find interviewees and introduce yourself and the interview project.
  2. Collect enough materials about the background of the country which your interviewees came from. (history, costom, religion, politics etc) Avoid those questions which are sensitive to people who came from a specific culture or ethnical groups. (Religion conflicts, Political thoughts, etc)
  3. Rewrite the interview questions after doing the general research. Print the questions out and give to these interviewee to help them get fully prepared for interview.
  4. Select a right place for interview where can bring interviewees into a formal interview atmosphere and make the proper interview schedule. Type the time and place on the head of the questions' papers.
  5. Prepare tools you need for conducting an interview, for example, paper, recoder and pens.
  6. Prepare some small gifts to thank them for the cooperation.

During the Interview:

  1. Dress formally and be on time.
  2. Since english is your interviewees' second language, go through the questions in a proper pace. Be patient and do not rush them to answer the questions. Give them enough time to organize their response and show understanding if sometimes they don't know how to express.
  3. Show full respect to interviewee and pay attention through all the interview. Use body language and eyes' contact to interact with interviewees.

After the interview:

  1. Edit the information collected from the interview.
  2. transcribe 2 ideal out of three.
  3. Write the analysis paper and conclude what you think about and get from this nice experience of this interview.
  4. Send emails to thank interviewees for their cooperation again.
