Siena TS6

 My second meeting with Alice took place on July 7th at 7 pm EST over zoom. We began the session with a warm-up word association game. I gave her a list of words and she had to say the first words that popped into her head. Then I gave her about 5 minutes to write a paragraph using all the words. First, I modeled how to perform this task. For this meeting we learned what peer editing is and how to perform it. We focused on three steps compliments suggestions, and corrections. I gave examples on how she can give feedback on the three aforementioned things. Then I had her give compliments, suggestions for improvement, and corrections for a short passage. We went over the corrections together afterward, and I explained some of the ones she missed and why they should be fixed. For homework she had to peer edit a short passage on rainbows using the steps we learned in class. She is a very quick and eager learner!

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!
