Chassity CO 2 w/Mr. Flemming

Date/Time/Location: Friday, 15 July at 7:00pm AEST (Pre-recorded Zoom)

Teacher: Mr. Flemming (Speaking)


Totally awesome!  “Right off the bat”, it was refreshing to see the professional structure of the class agenda.  Mr. Flemming, immediately started the timer, ensured students were present by  utilizing an Attendance Form, and then communicated the agenda/session expectations.  The agenda involved working on the discussion and timed speaking evaluations.  Side bar:  It was neat to hear Dongwoon interacting in the class!  Additionally, I love how Mr. Flemming outlined the class participation ground rules as it sets the tone for the class.

To that end, Mr. Flemming used a tool that I intend to utilize for time management purposes…was not aware that it was available!  The linguistic framework consisted of a PowerPoint Presentation, speaking template, and brainstorming activity handout.  I also observed how the students were being evaluated during the brain storming activity.

Overall, I really enjoyed observing Mr. Flemming’s class.  The various segments appeared to flow seamlessly and the students were highly engaged.  I will definitely copybook some of the tech savvy tools that he used!  ;-)

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!
