3, 2, 1 Interview with Laura

Today, I´d like to share with you all an interview which I did with my classmate recently. Additionally, I will try to explain to all of you the process and the steps I followed to carry out this interview and how I finally obtained my artifact.

Laura is a 24-year-old student from Santander who is currently attending a Master´s Degree in Bilingual Education at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. Below you can watch the video of the interview in which you can know a little bit more about her likes, hobbies, ambitions and future plans.

Now, I will explain to all of you the steps I followed to cope with this challenge and finally come up with this artifact.

Firs of all, when we were challenged to interview our peers by María Jesús, our ICT teacher, we were quite surprised since none of us had never done anything similar. We were advised to do a 3, 2, 1 interview which is basically a short interview where the interviewee is asked a few questions. The main objective of this sort of interview is knowing a little bit more about the interviewee, in this case Laura, in a short period of time and in an appeling way.

Once we knew what to do, I started thinking about what people would like to know about Laura in order to decide the questions I was going to ask her. So I made a draft with different questions according with what I thought people was going to be interested in knowing about her. Then I analized the questions and I finally picked out the six questions I was going to pose in the interview.

Here you can see some of the questions I decided to ask her:

Where do you come from?

What do you enjoy doing?

Do you have any special hobbies?

If you weren´t a teacher, what field would you like to work in? 

As a teacher, do you feel that new technologies are important for us?

Once the interview was clearly defined, we agreed on carrying out the interview. I decided to record a video with my mobile phone rather than an audio because I think it is more attractive and inviting for others. Then, when we finished recording the video I started looking up information about different video editors. Finally I used a mobile phone application called Imovie to edit the video. This application allowed me to add sounds, effects, images and even a piece of different video. I found this application very easy to use since I had never worked with it but I managed to edit my video in a while.

To finish, I think this challenge was quite interesting. I have learned many things that I did not know becuse I had never done anything similar to this. I have also found out that 3, 2, 1 interviews are a very useful way of knowing more about people in a few minutes. Finally, it was a great opportunity for us to practice our conversation skills.

I hope you enjoy it!! If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please let me know by dropping a comment.
