interview data.

So I've decided to consider my first three interviews with learners as a pilot, because I realized it's a lot more difficult to get the data that I want through asking questions and picture description.

I've transcribed the first three interview sessions-1 from each level (beg, int, adv). And now I'm going through the transcripts looking for some of the 'default' type errors that I was hoping to find.

After my review, I think I will end up changing/modifying my interview questions, and try to get at something deeper. I realized, based on learner responses, that most of my questions only elicit limited responses--1 sentence. I guess I thought that learners would automatically keep talking beyond this 'guide', but I'm having to push/interrogate a lot, so I need to create some better, more open-ended questions.

Either way, I expect to have a decent report/update when our class next meets! :)

I hope things are going well for everyone else!
