(Dojun)
Date/Time: August 22th, 2017; 8:00am
Location: Skype
Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Current Events, Vocabulary
Feedback provided to tutee: In this session, Dojun and I worked on the usual conversation skills and inherent vocabulary and grammar that make up the conversation.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: It's getting harder for me to find new and interesting topics for Dojun and I (and also Soyoung and I) to talk about, since he only wants to work on conversation skills. To his credit, he's a trooper and finds things to say about topics he isn't super interested in (like the environment). However, tutoring two people from South Korea has made me notice that they don't know a lot of the same words/phrases, which means I can pretty accurately guess what idiom/vocab word one won't know based on what the other doesn't. I also learned that most South Korean men have to serve in the military, which came up during a very interesting conversation on Dojun's take on the North Korea situation.
