Objectives of my interview

  1. To be mentally prepared for the interview, find an appropriate place and time for the interview, and make necessary arrangements (like pen, paper, recorder, etc.).
  2. To make the interviewee feel comfortable and relaxed by asking some casual questions at the beginning and get the best out of them.
  3. To know the common issues of international students while living away from home.
  4. To learn about the cultural stereotypes from their country.
  5. To try to understand how their language could be a barrier to communicate with other students in the American class.
  6. To know about their intention of studying in an American university.
  7. To know how and when did they learn English and how much it has improved as they are living right now with Native English speakers.
  8. To know if they had been a victim of racism and if it is, try to find the circumstances in which it took place.
  9. Finally, integrate all the information from the interview with what you have known from other sources like internet, books and media.

  1. I like number 1, preparing mentally is the most important thing in an interview because there may be a language barrier and you have to be patient and take your time to understand what they want to say.
