Assessment type: Interview This interview will allow you to gain insight into both the knowledge and attitudes of an individual student. Questions are connected with ICC as well as with telecollaboration. The interview can be conducted before the actual telecollaboration activities start, or after they have finished, or both. Section A: About knowledge 1. If you are communicating with someone who does not master your language, what can you do to overcome communication breakdowns? 2. Do you think that culture influences our behavior or is it the other way round? 3. If you were involved in an intercultural conflict, how would you resolve it? Section B: About attitudes 4. When communicating with someone else, do you pay attention to nonverbal signs of communication? 5. What makes your own culture different from the other cultures that you know? 6. How many different cultures would you be able to distinguish in your class, roughly speaking? 7. When answering that last question, how did you interpret the word 'culture'? 8. In your opinion, what role do your own culture and language play in Europe? 9. What do you think about so-‐called 'minority languages'? Do you think they are useful? 10. To what extent do you think your encounters with other languages and cultures are important? Why? 11. What is your opinion about learning foreign languages? Section C: About telecollaboration Before telecollaboration starts: 12. What do you expect from the online peers you will be working with? 13. Would you say telecollaboration is irrelevant or relevant for foreign language learning? Why? 14. What do you think you can learn from your peers online, apart from improving your language skills? 15. Would you say you were "ICT-‐literate" enough to communicate with your online peers? 16. To what extent has this telecollaboration experience changed your view of the other culture(s)? 17. In your opinion, what is the most important benefit of intercultural telecollaboration? 18. What skill have you developed most during the telecollaboration activities?
