Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Speech-writing
Feedback provided to tutee: This past week, my tutee had to give a speech in front of international students and faculty at a closing event for the summer program she worked at. She sent me a draft of what she was going to say, and I was able to edit/provide explanations of certain grammar points that needed to be changed (past & present participle, correct idiom phrasing, lists, and simple present). We also worked on conversation skills, including more idioms/common phrases.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: My tutee and I discussed stereotypes and prejudices in both America and Korea. Doing so helped me to understand how some people view America, and to more thoroughly examine how I view other countries. It is important to analyze our thoughts and feelings on foreign countries, and to examine where certain impressions may have come from. As a teacher of English as a foreign language, it is important to make sure I come from a non-judgmental and open point of view.
