Siena TS 17

 I tutored Henghua on July 27th at 7:30pm over zoom. We focused on fluency, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. For our warm-up I showed him 2 different pictures, and for each one he had to pick an adjective, noun, or verb to describe the picture(s). We then acted out the skit he had wrote for homework on emotions. Then we watched a scene from the Office where Michael Scott gets hurt. After watching/listening for how the other characters react to this we acted out a skit on an injury. Finally, we finished with a fun listening activity of a scene from Friends with post comprehension questions. Then a quick question about which scene from the two shows he preferred and why. For his homework I gave him a scenario to write a script for, and he was to record and listen to himself speak and try to point out his errors. As usual, I would correct his grammar and pronunciation throughout the lesson like he asked me to. I learned that he will be taking the TESOL exam in a week, but he didn't want to review for it with me.

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!
