Interview is a systematic oral technique for obtaining data, directly from an individual. It is a conversation between two or more people, through which information are collected on a particular subject.

In the words of Dr. S. M. Amunuzzaman, “interview is a very systematic method hy which a person enters deeply into the life of even a stranger and can bring out needed information and data for the research purpose.

Thill and Bovee said that, “ an interview is any planed conversation with a specific purpose involving two or more people”.

Thus it can be stated that interview is an organized or planed conversation with a view to explore the unknown information from the interviewee.

What are the basic types of interview questions?
There are four (4) basic types of interview questions (Thill and Bovee 1996)

1. Open-ended questions:
Here the interviewee needs to express his/her opinion. A ‘yes’ or ‘no’ is not enough.

2. Direct open-ended questions:
These questions have more control over the interviewee. Though freedom is given for the response but the question it provided direction.

3. Close ended questions:
These types of question produced specific information, save time and required less effort to answer. That is a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ is sufficient to answer close ended question.

4. Restatement questions:
Restatements provide opportunities to clarify points and correct misunderstandings. Questions that repeat the previous answer of a respondent are called restatement questions.
