b) Based on your interpretation of the article enlarge on the following: 
1. It is easier for a newspaper journalist to interview somebody than for a journalist 
working in television.
2. A screen interview makes considerably more demands on the person conducting it. 
The actual phrasing of questions needs to be considered. Open-ended questions should 
prevail over close ones (requiring "yes" or "no" answers) in an interview. 
c) Comment on the following view of one of the American Journalists, "... a television interviewer is not employed 
as a debater, prosecutor, inquisitor, psychiatrist or third-degree expert, but as a journalist seeking information on 
behalf of the viewer." 
d) Summarize in your own words what you believe to be the best technique for interviewing people (see Appendix, 
p. 292). 
11. Read the following extract on the use of interviews in the foreign language classroom: 
The success of an interview depends both on the skill of the interviewer, on his ability 
to ask the right kinds of questions, to insist and interpret, and on the willingness to talk on 
the part of the person being interviewed. Both partners in an interview should be good at 
listening so that a question-and-answer sequence develops into a conversation.
In the foreign language classroom interviews are useful not only because they force 
students to listen carefully but also because they are so versatile in their subject matter.
Before you use an interview in your class make sure that the students can use the 
necessary question-and-answer structures. A few sample sentences on the board may be a 
help for the less able.
As a rule students should make some notes on the questions they are going to ask and 
on the answers they get. If they write down all the questions in detail beforehand they 
have a questionnaire. Survey with the help of a questionnaire is one of the easiest ways of 
interviewing people.
