Tutoring session – tutee: Je-won 8, Thursday 10/22, 0800-0900hrs, Zoom.

Covered:  continuing from last sessions verbs and auxiliary verbs usage; refresher on new terms

 

            Since last week went well and the setup for this session worked well, this one went fast.  I had the same amount of stuff on the new worksheet and we blasted through it.  Again, it was am, was and will this time with the same pattern of sentences and similar terms for context.  Also, some new and lesser frequency terms.  So, I just tried to get to know him, and I guess there is at least one show on tv we both watch, The Return of Superman (seriously, look up the show, or better yet, look up kocowa.com and click on the variety tab and pick a show and go; just turn on the English closed captions).  I don’t think he knew that this was our last meeting.  I had to let him know and I thanked him for letting me teach him.  I really can’t wait to get into a classroom now.

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.
