The objectives of my interview

Try to understand:
1. Is it going to be difficult to study when using a second language?
2. Is it going to be hard to live alone without family around?
3. Is there going to be huge cultural bumps when people joined into another culture?
4. What is going to be change for their future if people choose to going abroad than staying?
5. How can they get on well with people from different cultures?

First try to make friends with them, i think it should be easier for me since i am an international student
Second starting to do the interview, ask questions deeper and deeper as the process goes on
Third make a conclusion from the answers i get from several interviewers
Fourth try to see if there are some similarities bwtween me and others
Fifth knowing another person's story is helpful and interesting
Sixth build up relationships with people from different cultures

  2. I don't get your last objective though. Are you trying to know about how can cultural differences be avoided or you wanted to know how to get on well on general things like lifestyle?

  3. Your objectives should mention the process you will be using. How will you prepare, conduct, and report the interview?

  4. These questions looks good but the process of conducting an interview should be added up.

  10. I like your questions. They are well organized and very detailed. But i think you may want to be more focusing on the cultural aspects in your report,instead of just general questions and answer.

  13. I think you have a good understanding of how you would like the interview to flow. I had a hard time understanding #5--you should consider rewording it. Do you think that you can maintain a professional setting if you become really good friends with the person before interviewing him/her? Also, in what ways do you think their stories might help you?

  14. I think you have a good understanding of how you want the interview to go. Being an international student yourself i think will benefit the interview because the person being interviewed wont be as nervous.

  16. I think the questions are good. I kind of relate with them as I am also an international student. I think these are things that every international student goes through.
