CULTURAL INTERVIEW SPEECH GUIDELINES – 60 POINTS

4-6 minutes – Cultural Interview Speech Submitted through MEDIA SHARE

You will find a member of a culture different than your own. It should be a culture you are not familiar with! Darton has a lot of wonderful international students, many are in my classes. Let me know right away if you need help finding some to interview. Interviews can take place in person, over the phone, or by email.

You will be required to ask them a minimum of 10 questions. You can ask about almost anything, such as how they spend their free time, traditions, their education system, etc. Your questions will need to cover at least 4 course concepts/ideas (i.e. class identity, discrimination, accommodation). During your speech, make sure to point out the specific concepts you discussed. Please remember to use simple English in your communication if you are actually communicating with someone who speaks English as a second language.

Once you have completed your communication, review your notes/e-mails and pick the most interesting facts you learned regarding the new culture. See the grade sheet for specifics to cover during the speech. You DO NOT need an audience for this speech. .

Cultural Interview REPORT Guidelines – 50 points

Due to the fact that 4-6 minutes is a very brief amount of time, you will not get a chance to share ALL of the wonderful details you learned about the new culture in your Cultural Interview Speech. With this in mind you will need to create a comprehensive report of your experience.

This report should be 2-3 pages (12 pt font typed, Arial or Calibri, double-spaced, 1 in margins all around) and include:

1. A very brief overview of the culture (this may require you to do outside research)

2. An overview of the interviewee/pen pal

3. A summary of what you discussed

4. Your reactions to this experience

5. The "interview transcripts" from your verbal interview or print out of all e-mail correspondence (this should include your 10 questions and the interviewee's responses). Note: Your "interview transcript" does NOT count toward your 2-3 page minimum length.

6. A report cover page with your name, the interviewee's name, the assignment, and date
