AppendixD: Sample Individual Interview Questions

Interview questions of Participant #6 for reflection 1.

1. 
   P #6, your question to P #3 was about her compulsory elective language course. You believe that making a language course compulsory may have possible negative effects on learners but P #3 stated a counter comment. She says that it did not lower her desire to learn a language. Does this opposite / counter statement affect your belief in this case?
   
2. 
   You asked P #4 a question about strategies that she uses to analyze learner differences. She states that she uses a learning styles/preferences questionnaire most of the time after spending some time with students to get to know them. She also observes them in pair/group or individual activities. What do you think about the strategies and would you like to implement them in your class?
