TS 9/20/20

            Today I met with Saad again. This session was more focused on speaking and listen as we watched a video together discussing cultural issues as you learn English. Saad seemed to really enjoy this session. He was able to draw connections with his own struggles in learning English and writing. Also, I was able to check his comprehension as we would pause the video and I would ask him questions about what we watched. This session seemed like a good session in boosting his confidence in learning English. This session was also good at lowering his filter so that he could really express himself about the topic and practice formulating his thoughts in English. This session was very good at finding ways to boost confidence and lowering effective filters.

    Getting ones filter to match what one needs to or wisher to express is probably why the early teen years a re probably the best to learn. I mean, everything changes and the person has to keep up, so why not go all out. I am biased though because that was my age for learning English.

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.
