Adelyn TS #9

 Date/Time: January 31st, 5pm

Location: Hecht House 

Topic/Skill: During this second part of the session, Aras and I focused on continuing going over the verb tenses. He understood the simple and continuous but when it came time to perfect and perfect continuous we had to spend a bit of extra time. Overall he understood and we came up with tampons of good examples and a paragraph included one of each (I provided example verbs). With the remaining time I had him select an article and he then wrote a small list of unfamiliar vocabulary words and we then went over them. We ended the session with a verbal summary and his opinion.  

Feedback provided to tutee: I didn’t have to give too much feedback in this session because it was mainly learning and practicing again. When it came to the struggles I just helped him through thorough and understandable explanations and creating example situations and examples for him. I also gave him feedback in his verbal summary to include transition words since he is at a level where he could use them, as well as trying not to look at the screen and read.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned that he definitely didn't see a use for all the verb tenses, he said there should only be one and that he doesn't think they make a difference. I think I need to try to get him more interested because he said that he barely pays attention in class, yet he somehow knows everything and is able to use it. He also doesn't know the names for grammar terms, but is at least able to use them all. I just need to find ways to get him more excited about learning and the language because he is definitely bored and frustrated in his classes.

Date & Time: 3/21/24, 3:00-4:00pm Location: CIES  Topic/Skill: speaking, spring break trips Feedback provided to the tutee: Over spring break, Aras went to New York City for the first time, and said it reminded him of his hometown in Turkey, both with huge skyscrapers. He told me about his visit to the Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building, and Central Park. 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...
