Interviews d’élèves scolarisés au lycée Clos Maire

MOBILITES EUROPEENNES, ,

Le lycée Clos-Maire de Beaune accueille de nombreux élèves étrangers. Nous avons eu l’occasion d’interviewer plusieurs de ces élèves dans le cadre de notre cours de « Littérature et Société» dont la thématique est   « En route vers la citoyenneté européenne ».

Deux Américaines, Deniz et Kira, une Mexicaine, Maria, une Espagnole, HaÏat, un Portugais, Joao, une Lituanienne, Augustina et une Allemande, Julie ont participé à cet échange. Notre objectif était de mettre en valeur l’importance  des échanges et de réfléchir sur les avantages qu’offre l’Europe en matière d’ouverture sur le monde.

Interviews

Les élèves de l’option de littérature et société en Europe, dont nous faisons partie, ont formé des groupes de deux à quatre personnes pour interviewer un élève participant à  un échange. Certains élèves de l’option Cinéma et Audiovisuel de première de notre lycée nous ont aidés à filmer ces interviews. Ceux-ci seront diffusés sur les écrans dans le hall d’entrée de notre lycée pendant la semaine de l’Europe, en mai.

Les expériences de chacun des élèves interviewés étaient très différentes : nous avons découvert qu’ils n’étaient pas tous volontaires pour ce voyage en France ; certains ont suivi leurs parents qui avaient des obligations professionnelles ;  d’autres, au contraire, sont venus pour leur scolarité afin d’améliorer leur maitrise du français et découvrir le mode de vie de notre pays. Nous avons aussi pu leur demander quelles étaient leurs capacités en français avant leur arrivée en France, ce qu’ils pensaient de notre pays, les préjugés qu’ils pouvaient en avoir, les différences qu’ils avaient pu remarquer entre leur pays et le nôtre et également s’ils comptaient rester en France après la fin de l’année scolaire.

Ce que nous avons appris

Grâce à ce travail, nous avons appris les codes nécessaires pour interviewer une personne. La posture ainsi que l’enchaînement des questions sont des éléments essentiels à maîtriser lors d’un interview. Il est essentiel de définir l’angle d’attaque (ou le point de vue) de l’interview avant d’interviewer la personne.

Interview of foreign students

MOBILITES EUROPEENNES,

In our school there are lots of students who come from different countries around the world. Most of them came here as a choice because they wanted to discover French culture and language but some of them were forced to leave their country owing to political or economic crisis.
We had the opportunity to interview a few of them to speak about their thoughts on European Union, France and also to learn a bit more about their native country.

Joao Pedro and Julie were our guests. These two students did a really great job, and we’re thanking them again!

Hello Joao!

We ask Joao, a 16-year-old Portugese, several questions about his experience in France. He didn’t choose to come in France ; he came here with his parents because of economic crisis in Portugal. His family wanted to earn money in France because earning money is easier in France than in Portugal ; so they are going to live in France for one year and then, they’ll go back to Portugal.
To Joao, these countries are really different. The food is different, people are different, school is different and the culture s different too. When he went in France, he didn’t speak French at all but in only three months spent here he learnt French a lot and he’s progressing very fast. Joao still prefers Portugal to France, but he thinks that French people are really nice.
Then whe asked him some questions about European Union. He answered that he knows that Portugal is a part of this union, and to him, European Union is a good thing. But European Union doesn’t help Portugal a lot even if the crisis isn’t due to Europe, but because of Portugese government. Finally? he told us that this year in France will give him a lot of things. He would learn a new culture, a new language and meet a lot of people!

Hallo Julie!

Contrary to Joao, Julie chose to came in France, and it wasn’t her first experience. She had already visited Paris ans Strasbourg with her family, and this time shee’s in a host family in Burgundy. Julie is from Germany, and she wanted to come in France because she liked the language, even if the culture is really different from hers. During the interview she was asked about her thoughts on France but also on Europe, and more precisely European Union, because it’s the main theme of this discipline. She said it was great because all the countries were united.
I think it was like a « test » for her because it can be hard to speak fluently French and to understand the questions, but she ended up alive so it’s a great thing.

These interviews were a great exercise for us, but it was more stressful for the foreigners, just imagine having to speak in a language you don’t really master while being filmed and in front of people you don’t know…

We also learnt a few tips about how to make a great interview. First we’ve seen the different way to position chairs, cameras and microphones. We had to speak louder than usually to allow the pupils of cinema class to record us. They came to help filming us, and were the “directors” of this exercise.

To conclude, we’ll say that the interviews were a really great idea and that we’ll love to do it again !
