"What Was It Like To Learn English?" Learner Interviews in TESL Training.
Bebout, Linda
TESL Canada Journal, v19 n1 p73-79 Win 2001
To help students in an introductory Teaching English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) course learn about the backgrounds and experiences of ESL learners, one instructor has each TESL student interview a nonnative speaker of English in the community. Students ask a variety of questions about the learners' English language history. Students then write a report of the interview and share information. Through this process, students gain insight into the learning process of ESL learners.(Author/VWL)
