서원대학교 영어교육과 Listening & Speaking II Wk10

Interviewing ProcessYou can decide whether to interview a foreigner as a pair or interview a foreigner by yourself. I think doing a group interview will be difficult because your group members have different class schedules and you probably don't live in the same area, so meeting to interview a foreigner can be difficult. Ideally, Person 1 interviews Foreigner 1, Person 2 interviews Foreigner 2, and Person 3 and 4 interview Foreigner 3. 

Some possible sites to find foreigners willing to do an interview (Please remember to also teach them Korean, if that is their interest!)

http://www.italki.com/ (preferred!)http://chingu.prkorea.com/http://www.interpals.net/search.php?todo=langex&languages[]=KOhttp://www.mylanguageexchange.com/pen-pals/Country/South_Korea.asp

For the interview, you should ask each foreigner the 20 questions you prepared. However, the 20 questions are just a guideline...perhaps you will only ask 10 of those questions and create new questions based on the answers that the interviewee gives. Make sure to ask each foreigner the important questions that your group decides they must answer. Maybe you will ask more than 20 questions. Maybe you have enough information after just 10 questions, if they are 'wide' questions. It is up to you, but remember the more information you get from your foreigners, the easier it will be to make a good essay.  

You are allowed to ask one Seowon University professor per group, but if the professor has already given an interview to another group, you must find someone else to interview.

One interviewee must be living abroad, so using Skype or another video/voice chat is necessary. Please remember that you should record the audio of the interview, so there are 2 methods to do this. 1) Using 안캠코더 (http://ancamera.co.kr/home/intro_02.html) and following the directions. 2) By using your phone to record the audio on your side and having the foreigner use their phone to record on their side, and then send the file to you.

Finish interviewing on Nov. 10. Your transcripts will be due on Nov. 13 . Please combine all of your group's transcripts together in one document and put the names of the group

members on the first page. You will e-mail this in to me on Nov. 13 with the audio files. Label the document with your group leader’s name. Label each audio file with the foreigner’s name and your group leader’s name.

You should have about 10~20 questions/answers per foreigner, so you should hand in about 30~60 questions/answers as transcripts (because you are interviewing 3 foreigners)

The transcript is NOT a part of your midterm grade, this is part of your participation grade. You can only get a bad grade for your transcripts if your group hands in NO transcripts or hands it in late .   (I am just doing '확인' to make sure you are following the class)

You transcripts do NOT have to be 'word-for-word' or verbatim. I just want you to understand the opinion of the foreigner and write down what they said. You should use a few interesting direct quotes, though, especially because using quotes for your essay would be good. 

You will share your transcripts with your group members and discuss in class common things between what the foreigners said, and discuss why there might be differences in opinions between foreigners and between Koreans. 

Your group will use the information from the foreigners and from your group discussion to make give a presentation of your 'research' to the class. 

You will each make your own essay using the information [(1)What the foreigners said (2)What your group discussed and (3)Your own opinion] to make an essay that is due at the end of the semester. 

Rough draft for personal essay due Nov. 24/27, depending on what day you have class with me. Final personal essay and Group Presentation dates to be announced.
