Individual exercise: Pick a general topic that relates to an experience that most students in your group are likely to have had (such as recount how you felt when you arrived at your first school, completed your first application for a job, or had your first job interview) or to attitudes and expectations (such as career expectations, environmental protection, or growth of local business). Prepare an interview guide of at least ten questions, including an opening question and a closing question. Write down what you expect to find in your interview (500 words). Conduct the interviews in pairs, so that everybody plays the part of the interviewer and that of the respondent at least once each. Each interview should last a minimum of 20 to 40 minutes.

Discuss how you have experienced the interview as interviewer and as respondent.

What would you do differently next time you conduct an interview?
