PEOPLE IN LIA: The Interview (part one)

(An activity of ET-7 students concerning Lesson 8/"People in Our School", page 57 of STAR 3 Book)

Learning is somewhat painful to some students. Being trapped in a small cubical room of 4 to 4 meters is contributing a lot to the boredom. Not to mention the teachers lacking of creativity will eventually  turn the students into learners of the least motivation. We should finally be thankful if they are still willing to stay and continue to study in LIA despite their disappointment and frustration. We surely need a breakthrough; we definitely call for an out of the box idea. 

We had this idea. When we came to Lesson 8 of STAR 3 Book (the book used in LIA for SMP students), we had this topic: PEOPLE IN OUR SCHOOL. The lesson tells of stories depicting job descriptions and daily routines of staffs (both academic and non-academic) in a school. We decided to make it different from other classes of ET-7. 

FIRST THING FIRST

We are going to interview people who are working in LIA (teachers, excluded). Firstly, we are discussing on what questions to ask. We end up with the following simple topics of questions (since most of the non-academic staffs in LIA haven't mastered English yet) such as: 

  • Personal identity (name, address, family)
  • Job or position in LIA
  • Responsibilities (job descriptions)
  • Hobbies (likes/dislikes)
  • Dreams in the future (what they want to be in the future)
  • Etc.

(Can you tell which one is the canteen keeper?)

The students are then divided into groups of threes and they are doing the followings:
First, they make up the questions and then they practice the questions with their peers. 

THEY ARE MAKING QUESTIONS TO ASK THE INTERVIEWEES

In the meantime, the teacher is contacting those people who will be interviewed and telling them that the students will need their time for a simple interview. The teacher gives them excerpts of the questions that the students will ask.

LAST MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW

The teacher tells the groups (of threes) to assign their members with a special assignment. 

One student will act as an interviewer. His/her main duty is to interview the interviewees.

Another student will take note the answers given by the interviewees. He/she may also ask questions to the interviewee.

The last student will have to take pictures and record the activity during the interview.

THE REPORTS 

The last activity is making reports. The reports will be in two types: written report and digitally recorded report. The written reports will be in a form of a simple paragraph describing the interviewees based on the answers they have given during the interview. While the digitally recorded report is in the form of pictures and videos of the interview.
