Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Grammar Structure, Vocabulary
Feedback provided to tutee: In today's session, Soyoung and I worked on grammar structures and vocabulary expansion through conversation. I provided more nitpicky grammar feedback (mostly focused on tenses) since the focus was grammar.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Soyoung continues to be a very good conversationalist and to improve further with our sessions. During this session it was interesting to realize that some things that other cultures might find "strange" are so deeply ingrained in the home culture that people don't even notice it. For example, one of our conversation topics was movies, and I asked if she knew of anything that Koreans do at the theater that was different from Americans. At first she couldn't think of anything, but then remembered that dried squid was the most common movie snack, so much so that the movie theaters always smell like squid.
