Carrying out semi-structured interviews
Respondent interview (Powney and Watts, 1987)
Topics are fixed with greater freedom to the interviewees in their wording, in the amount of time and attention
given to different topics.

Focused Interviews unstruc-tured,
non-direc-tive, in-formant
interviews
•Are not simply causal conversations. •The direction of the inter-view and the areas cov-ered are totally in the con-trol of the informant. •Usually therapeutic set-tings (Carl Rogers, 1945)•To seek help with a prob-lem•Is not appropriate for re-search (Whyte, 1984)•Piaget’s type of clinical in-terviewing (child must de-termine the content and direction of the conversa-tion).

Telephone interviews A high response rate Correction of obvious misunderstand-
ings, Possible use of probes. Rapport may be more difficult to achieve
but this is compensated for by evidence of smaller interviewer effects and a lower tendency towards socially desir-able responses.
Beneficial for reaching to geographical dispersed respondents

Skills in interviewing Appearance dress in a similar way to those you

Self-completed Questionnaires
Begin with warm up questions Divide the questions into sub topics From the general to specific. From the less personal to personal. Ends with wrap up questions Close with Appreciation (see figure 9.1)
![Page 16: Interviews and questionnaires](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070421/568161e1550346895dd1f66c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Practice Divide your topics into a few subtopics
that would answer to your research questions.

Designing self-completed questionnaires
1. Specific questions are better than gen-eral ones
What types of task affected your stu-dents’ participation?
Which task types affect your students’ participation the most? (show list)
2. Closed questions are usually preferable to open questions

Offer a ‘no-opinion’ option Majority of Korean English Teachers perceive

Use of forced choice rather than agree/disagree statements
What would you say? In the beginning stage of learning L2
1. Use of collocation is more effective than use of sentence structure in learning L2 grammar.
2. Use of collocation and use of sentence struc-ture are equally effective.
3. Use of sentence structure is more effective than use of collocation.
4. Use of sentence structure should be followed by sentence structure.

improving middle school learners’ writ-ing skills has been widely acknowledged by teachers. What is your opinion?
1. strongly agree, 2 agree, 3, so so, 4, disagree , 5 strongly disagree.

Developing a summated rating (Likert Scale)
1. Gather together a pool of items that appear to be related to or important to the issue.
2. Decide on a response categorization system.
3. Ask a large number of respondents to check their attitudes to the list of statements.
4. Obtain a total score for each respon-dent.
5. Select items for final scale using item analysis.
![Page 25: Interviews and questionnaires](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070421/568161e1550346895dd1f66c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
