The article is talking about how to do an interview with good strategies. When we ask questions, it said there is also collaborative listening. There are two different questions which are closed questions and open questions. Closed questions are more simple questions like what, who, when, etc. But for the open questions are like why, how, etc. When we do the interview, the most important thing is being a good listener. Even we ask the perfect questions to interviewee, if we can't interpret and not being a good listener. The information we get will not be that good. In order to become a good listener, we should prepare for the set of good focused questions and need to change directions in anytime based on the interviewee is heading to. There are some strategies how to set up for the interview.
"Those strategies are part of interviewing - learning to ask and learning to listen"(220).
"Although most people think that the key to a good interview is asking a set of good questions, we and our students have found that the real key to interviewing is being a good listener"(225).
"To become a good listener as a field interviewer, you must also haves structured plans with focused questions. And you must be willing to change them as the conversation moves in different directions. With open questions, background research, and genuine interest in your informant, find yourself holding collaborative conversation from which both learn. It the process, not the preplanned information, that makes an interview successful"(226).
