the impact of entertaining movies on the fluency of second language learners?
Why-
? Should videos and short movies be used in

· What assumptions about
the nature of knowledge (epistemology) seem to be associated with this
approach?
Interviews are a qualitative method where questions are
asked to elicit information. Interviews can be constructed with focus group or
surveys. This method is usually flexible,
because the .interviewer can ask follow up questions
?What kinds of ethical
issues arise
Confidentiality is an
important issue. Interviewees shouldn’t be named, unless their permission has
been explicitly sought. Also, it is important that procedures of the interview
are explained to the interview and are laid out in writing. Finally, The
interviewer must be aware of issues .involving their answers and privacy
· ? What would "validity"
imply in a project that used this approach
When it comes to validity,
there is a difference between structured and unstructured interviews.
Structured interviews are twice as valid as unstructured interviews. Also, the
validity of the interview is hugely affected by the person who makes the
interview “ the interviewer”. These two things can increase or decrease the
validity of interviews.
What are some of the practical or ethical issues that would
need to be considered?
Many interviews concern issues that are sensitive; this can
make interviews emotionally intense. This might harm both interviewees and
interviewer. Also, there is a potential harm to physical
safety, for example,
interviewing homeless youths.
· Find and
reference at least two published articles that have used this approach (aside
from the examples given in this course). Make some notes about how the approach
is described and used in each paper, linking to your reflections above.
First article: Effective Teaching Methods in Higher Education:
Requirements and Barriers
This research aimed to investigate effective
teaching in higher education in Iran based on the
experiences oft professors in
the country and local professors of Isfahan University of Technology. Thi
qualitative content analysis study was conducted through purposeful sampling.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten faculty members. I believe
that the chose of interview method is effective in this research. The effectiveness increasedm because the interview
process was largely dependent on the questions that arose in the interaction
between
the interviewer and interviewees.
Second article: BREAKING BARRIERS IN LABORATORY EDUCATION FOR
NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS
F.
Verelst & G. Langie, Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst, Belgium
The aim of
this research is to develop a possible solution for non-traditional students.
Seven non-traditional students were interviewed. Beside
conducting interviews, the results of these interviews were systematically
classified and additionally completed with the opinions and experiences of some
willing students, colleagues, administrative staff and the study advice
service. Which made the results more authentic and accurate.
