             Today I met with Hongru again. In this tutoring session, we read the first chapter of the little prince. I had comprehension questions prepared so after we read the chapter, I had him answer the questions to test his comprehension. During his reading, I was highlighting words that he was struggling with and would be a new vocab. After the questions, we went over these words getting the definition, part of speech, and then I would ask him to provide a sentence example with the word. We also practiced pronunciation of the word as he would repeat the way I said them. Overall this felt like a very focused session on intensive reading and vocab.

    I never heard of the book so I looked it up. I wonder if you'll have a multi page list of new terms and concepts as I did for my tutee after our readings.

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.
