DESCRIPTION: 

This is a project to be carried out during the course of English VI, at the Universidad Icesi. It prepares the students for a job interview in English while at the same time increasing their exposure to the four English language skills. 

The importance of preparing the students for a job interview in English cannot be overemphasized, since they will not only be interviewed several times in their lifetime, but they will also be in administrative positions in which they will have to interview job applicants in the companies where they work. In addition to this, the project offers an effective way to improve their competence in the English language.

Proceso

You can learn how to improve your performance in job interviews, both as an interviewee and as an interviewer. The exercises in the following sessions attempt to do just that and to offer you evidence of your progress. To verify your progress and the effectiveness of the task you will work on, the first step requires that you write down spontaneous answers to typical questions that come up in this type of interviews. This enables you to compare them with your own answers at the end of the task. Your progress will then become evident.

Part 1: 1 hour

Students write down answers to 7 typical interview questions in the best possible way, prior to receiving any information or training.

Part 2: 1 hour

Students watch and listen to a video in which an expert answers the first typical interview question in a realistic simulation: "TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF."  After discussing the content of the video, students proceed to write down their own answer to that question.

In order to see and hear your own performance in a job interview, students produce and submit a video of a simulated interview. Students work in pairs. One pair interviews another pair and then exchange rols so that everyone experiences both rols.

Students watch their own videos to evaluate themselves and identify those aspects that need improvement.

The teacher should also encourage the students to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses while enacting the interview.

The video returned by the students becomes the final assessment tool.

Here is the suggested quantitative evaluation for the entire task:
Practice with a partner with each of the seven questions proposed during the task amounts to 10% of the final grade, for a total of 70%.

Production of and participation in the video where two students interview and are interviewed by two students, corresponds to the other 30% of the task.
