Chassity Fall TS 2 w/Dongwoon

Date/Time/Location: Tuesday, 9 August at 7:05am AEST (Zoom)

Session: Fall 2022 Session 2

Student: Dongwoon Kang


This morning we kicked off the first TS for Fall 2022!  I am so glad to tutor Dongwoon again.  He was so delighted to continue these sessions with me!


Today, we continued our discussions regarding idioms and vocabulary words while introducing Articles (definite and indefinite).  Initially, Dongwoon encountered some challenges with understanding the rules to apply for each article (a, an, the)during the session.


I was able to effectively instruct him to apply each rule to ensure his sentence structure is grammatically sound.  Dongwoon indicated that he understood how to apply the articles at the conclusion of the session.


To that end, I assigned him a Fieldwork Exercise to complete before our next session to reinforce the grammar concepts.  Dongwoon also indicated that he has excelled in CIES and transitioned to another group level.


I am looking forward to assessing his progress!

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.

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!
