Date/Time: February 12th, 8 pm

Location: Zoom

Topic/Skill: During this session, Jeah and I started off with a recap of everything we have learned, I had her give a few examples and explanations. Today's goal was learning about daily routines. I started off with an open discussion to see where her knowledge was on this topic, she had heard the word before but wasn’t too familiar. I then played a video with tons of vocabulary words. We went over definitions and other examples. I provided examples in sentences and different situations. I then led a discussion to get her to explain parts of her daily routine at school. We ended with an interactive and comprehension video where it showed a cartoon's daily routine and ended with comprehension questions. 


Feedback provided to tutee: I designed this lesson for her to have her practice more speaking. I did not want her writing as much today or simply listening to my voice the whole hour. I encouraged her to take the time to think instead of resorting back to me or the examples. I helped her by thinking through her own personal interests, separating different situations and times in the day, and I provided videos and pictures to help her be more creative and interactive. 

 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I think she still just needs to gain more confidence, but she has a really good understanding. This was one of the best sessions with her, she was forced to speak a bit more and engage more than she would for writing or a grammar lesson. I definitely think that by incorporating videos into the lesson, she learns a lot more and her affective filter is a bit lower. The next/last session I want to do something with music.

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...
