January 24-26, 2008This study examines the types of questions employed in academic selection interviews at an English-language tertiary education institution in Thailand (Mahidol University International College). Questions drawn from a transcript of an interview were analyzed, and then discussed with one of the interviewers. The data collected suggest that questions asked by interviewers in selection interviews are perceived by the interviewers to be either ritual questions which reveal little but have to be asked (in effect, being 'required' behavior for an interview),or substantive ('real')questions which reveal more about an interviewee.engMahidol UniversityAcademic selectionEnglish language educationProceeding Book
