This study has looked at the use of semi-structured interviewing in educational research between native speakers and non-native speakers of English. It has viewed this type of interviewing from various perspectives, particularly focusing on context, topic control, turn-taking and the interview as a speech event influenced by classroom discourse. It has argued that the role of context lays at an interface between conversation analysts and linguistic anthropologists who dispute the manner of its application in the process of interpreting interview discourse. Of particular significance in this discussion is the work of Briggs (1986) whose work in ethnographic interviewing is seen in this study as having important lessons for the semi-structured interviewer.
