  1. Analyzing published interviews Integrated Skills III

  2. Interview with Barack Obama • Read the title and the introductory text of the interview • What is the objective of the interview? • What is the tone of the introductory text? Why? • Read the interview questions. What do they focus on? • Read some of the answers. Are they exactly what the interviewee said? Why/ Why not? • Is there a closing for the interview? • Read some of the interview answers and analyze the language used. • Linguistic elements – which verb tenses were used? Why? What about the temporal organizers and personal pronouns? • Discourse elements – Are there narrative or dialogue sequences? What about explanations? Can you identify anaphoric chains? • Have you read interviews that are presented differently (“prose like text”)? Which kind do you prefer?
