(Dojun)
Date/Time: July 27, 2017; 8:00am
Location: Skype
Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Vocabulary
Feedback provided to tutee: Dojun has a high level of receptive skills, but struggles with some vocabulary and idioms. The feedback I provided was focused on correct pronunciation and review of some grammar structure.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Unfortunately my notes from this session were lost in a Microsoft Word glitch, but at least that has taught me to constantly save my notes as I go. However, I do remember being somewhat surprised by the types of words Dojun knew-- he is able to use many (what I would consider) high-level vocab words, but doesn't know certain simple terms (like, for example, "nature trail"). I think that this speaks to the type of words students are taught in class, and how maybe only one way of speaking about something is gone over (Dojun knew "hiking" and "path" perfectly fine). On the non-technical side of things, I learned a lot more about Dojun's life and details about his job. I also learned that he is engaged and getting married in the upcoming months, which is very exciting!
