Alberto TS#10

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.
