Date/Time: Thursday, July 20th at 9 am.
Location: From home – using Skype
Topic/Skill: Speaking – Speaking on the telephone in English
Feedback provided to tutee: We looked at some of the words
and expressions that we use for telephoning in English. Dojun often has to use
the telephone in English at his job, so this was a great practice to help him
feel more confident when the phone rings in English. The hardest part about
using the telephone is the fact that we cannot see the other person’s body
language, so we practiced having a conversation with the camera turned off,
making it impossible for Dojun to read my body language. I wanted him to
realize how it’s more difficult to understand a person speaking if you cannot
see them.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
The website, englishclub.com, has
some great speaking exercises that can be used for tutoring and for practice
outside of class.
