Research Methods in Language Attitudes
Petros Karatsareas
This chapter shows how semi-structured interviews can contribute to the study of language attitudes. It pays particular attention to how understanding interviews as contextually and socially situated speech events, shaped by the spatial and temporal context in which they take place and the relationship between interviewer(s) and interviewee(s), is crucial for the analysis and interpretation of interview data. It addresses the strengths of using interviews to investigate attitudes (e.g. that they may bring to light new information, new topics, and new dimensions to established knowledge) as well as their limitations (e.g. that participants may say what they believe the interviewer wants to hear or agree with the interviewer’s questions, regardless of their content). Following a discussion of the key practical issues of planning and research design including constructing an interview protocol, choosing the language or variety to use in the interview, and presenting multiple languages or varieties in interview transcripts, it explains how the qualitative data resulting from semi-structured interviews can be analysed thematically. The chapter ends with an illustration of interview methodology on the basis of a case study of attitudes towards Cypriot Greek in London’s Greek Cypriot diaspora.

The present paper analyses conversational strategies employed by the interviewer on a New Zealand radio programme from conversation analysis (CA) perspective. This study employs a documentary method of interpretation in order to seek answer(s) to the research question. Specifically, Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson’s (1974) model of conversation analysis was adopted to explore turn-taking strategies used in the interview. The analysis reveals that the interviewer employed a variety of turn-taking strategies such as signaling the end of turn, holding a turn, asking a question, self-selection and “prosodic features” (ibid.) to achieve the purpose of the interview. The findings of this study suggest several potential CA-informed pedagogical implications for English language teaching classroom.

By adopting a ‘social practice’ perspective of qualitative interviews, and thereby considering such tool of data collection as a joint accomplishment of both interviewee and interviewer, in this chapter the author examines language biography interviews as they are co-constructed by conversational partners. Drawing upon Conversation Analysis as a theoretical framework, it is looked at how participants locally negotiate the interactional frame of their encounter as institutional talk leading to the generation of research data. It is then discussed how interviewees display their “for the record” orientation by assessing their own talk, agreeing upon what may be later incorporated into scientific publications, as well by drawing upon the encounter as a resource to let their voice be heard.
The paper asks, how can we know that we understand each other during an research interview, particularly when the interview is conducted in a second language. The discussion in this paper combines insights from pragmatic linguistics that can help us to understand how we communicate in second language, and from sociology that can help us to understand the role of context. These insights were then combined with more specific topics that address either second language use or research interviews directly. It is possible the analyze the interviews for non- and misunderstandings through the analysis of reparation and for understanding through the analysis of uptake. By looking at language as a joint action, i.e. broadening our perspective on what language is, we are also getting a much richer material available for interpretation. For second language users the context, and particularly the tangible and present context, will be amore important source for meaning than for native language users. Therefore, in the interpretation of the interviews more attention must be given to the way context is used and how meaning is grounded. In intercultural encounters, it remains problematic to know, which cultural and social frame the discussion partner is using. Therefore, some kind of heuristics or shortcuts is needed to reduce the variability. The difficulty of entering the subject’s world, which sometimes is presented as a requisite to understanding, can be at least partly alleviated by the subjects themselves ‘translating’ their own experiences to the researcher. As a result several features of the research interviews have become clearer, and the interviews appear to me as a richer source of information than I expected.

The semi-structured interview is a method of research commonly used in social sciences. Hyman et al. (1954) describe interviewing as a method of enquiry that is universal in social sciences.
Semistructured interviews are an effective method for data collection when the researcher wants: (1) to collect qualitative, open-ended data; (2) to explore participant thoughts, feelings and beliefs about a particular topic; and (3) to delve deeply into personal and sometimes sensitive issues.
Abstract. Conducted conversationally with one respondent at a time, the semi-structured interview (SSI) employs a blend of closed- and open-ended questions, often accompanied by follow-up why or ...
A semi-structured interview is a data collection method that relies on asking questions within a predetermined thematic framework. However, the questions are not set in order or in phrasing. In research, semi-structured interviews are often qualitative in nature. They are generally used as an exploratory tool in marketing, social science ...
In qualitative research, researchers often conduct semi-structured interviews with people familiar to them, but there are limited guidelines for researchers who conduct interviews to obtain curriculum-related information with academic colleagues who work in the same area of practice but at different higher education institutions.
The popularity and value of qualitative research has increasingly been recognized in health and pharmacy services research. Although there is certainly an appropriate place in qualitative research for other data collection methods, a primary benefit of the semi-structured interview is that it permits interviews to be focused while still giving the investigator the autonomy to explore pertinent ...
Semi-structured interviews allow progressive interview refinements to gain an in-depth understanding of a research question, but interview refinements affect the stopping point. This paper aims to describe a method that provides transparency in interview refinements and helps researchers decide on a stopping point.
Definition. The semi-structured interview is an exploratory interview used most often in the social sciences for qualitative research purposes or to gather clinical data. While it generally follows a guide or protocol that is devised prior to the interview and is focused on a core topic to provide a general structure, the semi-structured ...
Semi-structured interviews are simply conversations in which you know what you want to find out about - and so have a set of questions to ask and a good idea of what topics will be covered - but the conversation is free to vary, and is likely to change substantially between participants.

Semi-Structured Interview and its Methodological Perspectives The semi-structured interview is a method of research commonly used in social sciences. Hyman et al. (1954) describe interviewing as a method of enquiry that is universal in social sciences. Magaldi and Berler (2020) define the semi-structured interview as an exploratory interview.
The most common type of interview used in qualitative research and the healthcare context is semistructured interview.8 Figure 1 highlights the key features of this data collection method, which is guided by a list of topics or questions with follow-up questions, probes and comments. Typically, the sequencing and wording of the questions are modified by the interviewer to best fit the ...
This article aims to describe how the semi-structured interview is conducted in qualitative research. The main focus of this article is to explain how the interview is employed to obtain in-depth information. Based on these premises, this article discusses two thematically based accounts. First, the semi-structured interview is more powerful than other types of interviews for qualitative ...

There are several types of interviews, often differentiated by their level of structure. Structured interviews have predetermined questions asked in a predetermined order. Unstructured interviews are more free-flowing. Semi-structured interviews fall in between. Interviews are commonly used in market research, social science, and ethnographic ...
Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate two semi-structured clinical interviews—one for parents and one for children. Methods. Both interviews were developed based on existing measures that capture particular aspects of AD. We analyzed internal consistencies and interrater agreement to evaluate their reliability.
Research team members developed a semi-structured inter-view guide (Appendix 1 in the article) with research questions and associated probes based on the System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) 2.0 model, the theoretical framework. The interview guide was pilot tested with one pharmacist for clarity.
6. Conclusion. Semi-structured interviews can be an interpretive research because they help the in-depth data of participants' perspectives their lived stories/experiences as told by online semi-structured interviewing has been cannot achieve the highly interactive can be achieved in face-to-face interviews the non-verbal cues.
Recording Semi-Structured interviews. Typically, the interviewer has a paper-based interview guide that he or she follows. Since semi-structured interviews often contain open-ened questions and discussions may diverge from the interview guide, it is generally best to tape-record interviews and later transcript these tapes for analysis.
