Siena TS9

 I tutored Alice on July 7th at 7 pm over zoom. The focus of the lesson today was writing and grammar skills. We began the lesson with her free writing warm-up activity for 8 minutes about what she did on her trip. I would provide feedback on how to correct her grammar in her free writing activity. Next, we went over her peer editing homework assignment (she had found almost all of the corrections)! We jumped into the lesson with a YouTube video on verbs. After reviewing what verbs are and how to use them we learned some vocabulary words related to animals and their actions. She then completed the fill in the blank activity matching the animal vocabulary words she learned to the correct sentences. To wrap up the session we went over her homework assignment. She would pick 3 endangered animals and write 1 paragraph each about them. She can use the words we learned in the session when writing her paragraphs on the animals. I provided feedback on her fill in the blank activity in class when we went over which answers she got wrong. I learned that taking pauses in between activities to talk about fun things with her helps Alice focus for longer periods of time.

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!
