Topic Skills: Listening and Reading Skills 

Feedback provided to the tutee: In the tutoring session on Monday, we finished the concepts involved in telling the time; however, for this session, I wanted to move forward with newer material. I also wanted to still incorporate these concepts into future lessons. The focus of this tutoring session was to continue to grasp question words. Je-won did express that he was feeling tired, so I also wanted to keep this session on the shorter side. I did not want to overwhelm him with new material. 

Lessons about tutoring and/or tutee learned: Question words, class subject vocabulary, and reading activity that incorporated classroom objects and time

Tutee: Je-won Lee 

As always, for this Wednesday session, I began with asking him how he was feeling. I wanted this session to also be on the more creative side. After he told me he loves to paint and draw, I incorporated some drawing parts into this session. For example, to review classroom objects before the beginning the reading activity, I gave him two options of objects to draw and we would both draw. After we were done, we would show each other our drawings. He would identify the vocabulary term of each drawing. As mentioned beforehand, after this fun activity, we moved on to do a reading activity. This reading included time and classroom objects, which helps with reinforcing these terms. After we read over the short passage a few times, we went over some comprehension questions. These questions also aid in providing examples of the question words he has learned this week.

  Date/Time: 10/1/2021    9:00 p.m. Location: Conversation over Line Topic/Skill: Reading and Verb Forms  Feedback provided to tutee: While over the months I have been talking with Tina she has improved in many different ways; However, there is one area she has consistently  struggled with, verb forms. She tends do do fine at deciding which work verb would work best in a sentence but struggles to use the correct form of said verb in the sentence. To work on this for this meeting I prepared several worksheets for her to complete. The first was similar to ones I have had her complete in the past, consisting of a number of sentences with blanks and verbs next to the blanks leaving her to decide on the correct form of the verb to use in the blank. She did well enough with the earlier questions but started to struggle later with the longer or more complex sentences. I then reviewed with her what she got right and what she got wrong. After this, I had her practi...

Date/Time: 08/03/2021 10:00 PM Location: Conversation  over Line Topic discussed: Video games, Mahjong, The Olympics Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: I was excited for our conversation  this time because  it had  been a while since me and Zhewei had a chance to chat. He recently moved and started a new job so he hasn't had to much free time to talk. He filled me in on what he had been doing and was curious how I had been spending my summer vacation. After I had told him it was mostly sleeping and playing video game our conversation moved in that direction. Zhewei told me about a lot of different games I had never heard of that were all developed in Taiwan. He also told me about which video games are most popular in Taiwan right now. However; Zhewei says that the only video game he really plays is online Mahjong. Since I have never had the chance to learn Zhewei taught me how to play. He did a very good job of explaining the r...

Date/Time: 08/07/21 10:00 AM Location: Conversation  over Line  Topic/Skill: TOEFL Writing Prep, Free Talk Feedback provided to tutee: Since I had started talking with Yenzhou in a teaching capacity and not just as friends he has expressed a great desire  to practice his English as much as he can. To this end, I had him start keeping a daily journal in English. He has done a very good job with keeping up with it and he feels it has really helped his writing  ability. This meeting however; I wanted to put his new found writing  skills to the test, so jumped straight into an opinion essay. Yenzhou did very well, he only had minimal grammatical or spelling errors and elaborated well on his topic. After the essay we decided to chat. Since Yenzhou wants to start speaking more colloquial  English he asked me to teach him some American slang. After happily obliging  he taught me some Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Japanese slang as well. Lesson(s) about tut...
