Qualitative interviewing is a method in which the interviewer directs the interviewee to answer specific research questions. In this article, I present an example of "Systemic Functional Linguistics" (SFL) analysis of an interview in which I investigated a student's use of an instructional tool called "Schema for the Complete Orienting Bases of Action" (SCOBA). SFL, as a qualitative tool for analysis, provides a functional account of the interview text, revealing semantic meanings through the grammatical and lexical choices of the interviewee. During analysis, SFL revealed different layers of meaning that are mediated by the linguistic choices of the interviewee. SFL helped me to get a fine-grained view of how the interviewee construed her experience as a foreign language learner and how she showed awareness and control of her own language development.... view less

Qualitative Interviews sollen helfen, spezifische Forschungsfragen zu beantworten. In diesem Beitrag beschreibe ich die Nutzung der systemischen funktionalen Linguistik (SFL) für die Analyse eines Interviews mit einer Studentin über ein Lernwerkzeug, das "Schema for the Complete Orienting Bases of Action" (SCOBA). Durch SFL wurde die funktionale Beschreibung des Interviewtextes und der grammatischen und lexikalischen Wahlen der Interviewpartnerin möglich. Entlang dieser linguistischen Wahlen wird nachvollziehbar, wie die Interviewpartnerin ihre Erfahrungen mit dem Erlernen von Fremdsprachen konstruiert und Aufmerksamkeit für und Kontrolle über die eigene Sprachentwicklung gewonnen hat.... view less
