Interview with L2:

• “I find that sitting amongst the students I learn so much from the students.”
• “[My classes are] more about a group of people coming together and sharing some information.”
• “[Structured classes] may mean that students don’t have time to e:hm express their thoughts and ideas.”
• “[Structured classes don’t] allow for that discussion to happen.”
• “we’re all students”
• “I love it because I’ll always be a student and I love learning from the other students.”

Interview with S1:

• “And she doesn’t really talk at us. She:: holds conversations with us.”
• “we teach each other in a way. E:hm with the tutorial how we do like the presentations and () like the teacher L2 would purposefully ask questions after each presentation.”
• “So I think having a teacher that purposefully asks questions to challenge you or tell stories about themselves and that allows you to challenge them – that’s a good method of teaching.”
• “I feel more comfortable because I think that interaction is there. The conversational one.”
• “And in their fascination, their questions forced me to find the answers ehm from my family, my mother or even like research it online.”

Interview with S3:

• “I felt like it was more conversation in this class rather than just learning everything”

• “Many students share their opinion […]” (27/08/2015)
• “[…] asks us to discuss them in groups.” (03/09/2015)
• “Thus, L3 […] mentions some aspects he heard earlier and, hence, makes people talk eventually.” (03/09/2015)
• “He asks us whether there are any issues we would like to discuss […]” (29/10/2015)

Interview with L3:

• “And the idea of sharing and being interactive and relating to your students is really important.”
• “you’re sharing your life and you’re sharing your experiences and trying to engage with their life and their experience in your learning practice to make some adjustments.”
• “I love the idea of group discussions”
• “Love the idea of sharing”
• “part of the narrative to work, I think, it’s best to () ehm have some idea of ehm that group interaction”
• “Then I get students to share.”
• “So the shared experience is probably something that I like to do.”
• “I do love people to ehm tell their stories, engage with their understandings.”
• “the benefit with the individuals [presenting] is there that you really can drive the ehm () student participation”
• “I frequently ask students to stop and look out the window because there’s nothing nicer than just that stopping and sharing in your environment sometimes.”
• “I attempted to bring in the international students into our learning sometimes and draw on your experiences in your home wor- your home () your home lives into the classroom. Ehm hopefully engage you in the classroom.”
• “I’m quite happy to argue () what I do () is good to engage any audience.”

Interview with S2:

• “They do it in a more conversational way rather than just the lecturing at you way.”
• “They have more interaction with you overall I think.”
• “Because I’ll probably remember things that you’ve said to me more than some random lecturer because we have some kind of relationship.”
