Siena CO #3

 I observed Dr. Flemming’s listening class with group 2 students on June 29th at 2 pm. The topic addresses in the class were listening and the skills they focused on were taking a quiz and taking notes on nutrition. The teacher modeled how to take notes during the audio recording. Dr. Flemming timed the post discussion on the listening material on nutrition. The materials he used were the vocabulary quiz handout, pen, paper, speakers, computer, timer, PowerPoint, projector, and listening audio lecture. The students would participate by answering the professor’s questions during the lectures, and having a post discussion with the class on what they retained from the audio. He provided feedback during the lesson on the correct answers in the quiz and during the post listening class discussion. From observing Dr. Flemming’s class today, I learned the type of vocabulary, speed, and short basic sentence structure an ESL/EFL teacher should use when teaching lower level classes.

Chassity TS 14 w/Dongwoon

Date/Time/Location: Tuesday, 26 July at 5:00am AEST (Zoom) Student: Dongwoon Kang This session covered speech presentation.    Initially, Dongwoon’s speech was not as polished    due to a few grammatical errors and pronunciation challenges. As the session progressed, we focused on Minimal Pairs, Pronunciations, and Vocabulary Words.    Fluency through repetition was critical for Dongwoon at this stage of developing his ESL skills. At the conclusion of the session, Dongwoon felt more confident about the contents of his speech and his ability to deliver it effectively.

Chassity Fall TS 4 w/Dongwoon

Date/Time/Location: Tuesday, 16 August at 7:10am AEST (Zoom) Session: Fall 2022 Session 4 Student: Dongwoon Kang Today’s session with Dongwoon went extremely well.    We briefly recapped the grammar rules for and usage of articles.    To my surprise, Dongwoon demonstrated his understanding of the concepts through applying the missing article (s) in “fill in the blank” sentence exercises. During the closing of the session, I noticed his confidence in article application from a grammar standpoint.    I assigned Dongwoon Fieldwork Exercise 2 which is comprised of forming three grammatically correct sentences using the Vocabulary Word of the Day.    We also covered the Idiom of the Day. I’m looking forward to reading Dongwoon’s Fieldwork Exercise 2 next week.

Chassity Fall TS 3 w/Youngsun

Date/Time/Location: Wednesday, 10 August at 8:15am AEST (Zoom) Session: Fall 2022 Session 3 Student: Youngsun Kim Another great session with Youngsun!    I am impressed at how her confidence has evolved from our first session in June.   Today, we recapped some of the ESL concepts from last session while introducing more topics centered on Campus Social Pragmatics.    Youngsun provided her research writing sample and I was able to provide written back.    Her rearchitect topic is not only scholarly, it is intriguing!   I announced to Youngsun that I’ll be giving her some Australian, New Zealand, and Philippine University tours via Zoom.    She was so exciting to be a part of my travel journey!
