Adelyn TS #4

Date/Time: Thursday, January 25th, 2:40 pm

Location: Hecht House

Topic/skill: Introduction and diagnostic. We had almost an hour of introducing ourselves.

She explained to me her goals for her English, as well as her interests.

She said that she really does not want to focus on grammar and vocabulary because she does that so much in her classes but instead more on conversation and the use of reading and writing. She mentioned a lot of her hobbies and things she’s passionate about so I will base a lot of our sessions on that. She also has a lot of good American references and slang stores in her vocabulary. This first lesson was a bit shorter only because she had to get her kid, but we created a good schedule and plan. 


Feedback: When speaking I focused on what he was saying and didn’t immediately fix errors but helped with noticing them. When I was speaking, I did find myself needing to slow down for her quite a bit, but she did understand everything I was saying.

His hometown is known for its chaotic traffic, and New York’s heavy traffic also reminded him of home. When he told me he had taken the subway rather than a car to commute during his stay, I mentioned how cool that seems as I have never been on a subway. He was shocked! I explained that there were no subway systems in Florida because of Limestone, aquifers, and high water tables; therefore, Florida basements are rare but Florida natural springs are by the dozen! Lessons Learned: I’ve never experienced a very strong feeling of homesickness while being in a city that looks like where I am from, but I can rat...
