Dear Tane,
unfortunatelly, I missed the moment in comversation and have found your
letter a liitle late.
The biblios you have cited are interesting for me since I have callected the
data on different techniques of interviewings. It is obvious that technique
is determined by the goul of investigations, context of situation of
interviewing, specialty of subject and so on, but to teach students how to
be observant in interveiwing,
what verbal and non-verbal factors shoud or can be under control I collect
bright examples if utilizing the interviews in different settings. My the
last super-prise was the meeting with a historian of Russian fashion abroud
who lives in Paris and had gathered incrediably huge volume of brilliant
data and published the book (rara avis) interviewing Russian emigrantes of
all the waves. Between different factors that he tried took in account
preraring and condacting interviews he underlined special language and fair
mannerism of Russian emigrants in Paris.
What are the most important factors when psychologist or teacher conduct the
interview with deaf kids or adoults?
May I ask you kindly to send me the article if you have?
I am sorry, the time is going but the problems with the books and articles
published abroud stayed at the same place in Russian. It looks like the only
stabile factor of every-day life in our science here.

I would be so happy to have any more information about interviewing as
technique under different conditions.
