Interviewing Foreigners
1. Things you should NOT do:
- Only one of the students asks all the questions; the others usually stand around grinning or commenting in their own language.
- Students letting foreigners read the questions they prepared for their survey.
- Students asking mostly closed questions (e.g. Do you like Bali?), vague questions (e.g. What do you think about Bali?)
- Talking very quietly - almost inaudibly really - with terrible pronunciation (e.g. You lie ee lai?).
2. Getting started
When students interview foreigners, it is essential that they properly introduce themselves. The introduction needn't be long, but should be brief, clear and honest. It could go like this:
Option 1:
“Good morning, my name is Andi and these are my classmates Bobby, mike, ranti, cici, and Roni. We study English and we'd like to practise our English by asking you some questions. Could you please spare a few moments of your time?”
Option 2:
“Hi, could we ask you a few questions? We are English students at Telecommunication Vocational High School and we are doing a survey to practise our English. Can we ask you a few questions? It will only take five to ten minutes.”
3. Possible questions
This is a short list of questions that might be used for general surveys. You are free to make your own questions. Be Creative!
- What's your name?
- Where are you from?
- Are you on holiday in Bali?
If yes:
- How long have you been here?
- How long do you plan to travel in Bali?
- Where are you staying now?
If no:
- Where do you live?
- How long have you lived in Bali?
- What's you job?
- Where do you work?
- Which parts of Bali have you visited?
- Which place did you like most?
- Do you like Indonesian food? What is your favourite dish?
- What do you like most about Indonesia?
- What do you do to fight global warming?
An effective way to keep a conversation going is by asking follow-up questions.
Example: What did you do yesterday evening? (Answer: I went to the cinema.)
Follow-up questions:
? Which film/movie did you see?
? Did you enjoy it?
? What's it about?
? Would you recommend it?
? Where did you go to see it?
? Who did you go with?
? Did you see the original version or was it dubbed?
? How much does a film ticket cost?
? Who's your favourite actor?
? What kind of movies do you like?
? How often do you go to the cinema?
? How do you get there?
Notes:
- You are free to make your own questions. Be Creative!
- Make sure that your ask questions in correct grammar and pronunciation.
- Don’t forget to thank the foreigners for their time and patience.
