Today in class, Miss Abena showed us how to
speak and listen during an interview. She first showed us an interview with
Beckham and asked us to tick and explain the style the interviewer was using
when interviewing Beckham. This was useful as we got a rough idea on how to
interview someone properly. Afterwards, Miss Abena split us into groups and
asked us to do some role play.One person acts as a interviewer, the other
the interviewee and the other two were the callers. This was a great
activity as we could understand the roles and improve on each individual role.
Halfway through, Miss Abena showed us some
styles we could use when doing our interview.
Interviewer
- Use a mixture of open and closed
questions
- Prepare a list of questions but
ask the questions depending on the flow of the
conversation
- Challenge the interviewee with
difficult questions
Interviewee
- Use different styles of speech
when talking to attract your listener (humour,rhetorical
questions,descriptive language etc)
- Use things like "it depends
on...." "well...." "so what do i think about sweets?
well..." to ensure there's no awkward silences
The role play activity was a very useful
teaching tool as we could use and get familiar to the styles of
interviewing and being interviewed. For tommorow's lesson we would be doing
the assessment for real so to prepare for the lesson I will ask
my dorm mate to do role play and interview each other so that I can get
feedback about how fluent and interesting my interview was. Also, I will look
through my essay again to find key points to use in my interview
