 Date/Time: Friday, Oct 9th 2:00

Location: ZOOM

Topic discussed: Conversation practice and reading along to NPR articles

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Ahmed and I learned about business news and current events together

Critical Incident response from Ahmed: I remember when I got my driving license in the US. they ask me whether I'm willing to donate my body part in case I die, using a tagged question. I answered in a way they understood that I was going to donate. I learned about tagged questions and how to answer tagged questions after months of that moment I feel lost and until this moment I do not know how to fix that, but now I should be careful and I should ask for a clarification if I do not understand something.

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.
