Tutoring session – tutee: Je-won 3, Thursday 9/17, 0800-0900hrs, Zoom.

Covered:  Dialogue and speaking practice

            OK, this young man has the ability to speak in English and understand fairly well.  Again, I was surprised at how much more I got him to speak. Yet I remain more reinforced in the belief that he has to be on the somewhat quieter side.  I will have to try to convey to him that his volume is just excellent and lead him to speak more.  Over the last couple of sessions, I used some basic Q and A or yes or no type questions between us to get him to speak, but I had made the questions sources for me to know more about him.  I will use this in the next session and role-play all of it as a conversation and work off of that.

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
