(Soyoung)
Date/Time: July 28, 2017; 8:00am
Location: Skype
Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Vocabulary (Pronunciation)
Feedback provided to tutee: In this session, we worked a lot on expanding vocabulary on various topics.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: For a student who is at as high of a level as Soyoung, I think that one of the most helpful types of learning experience is holding a normal conversation about topics that she finds interesting, and to give her the space to work out how to express her thoughts and feelings on the subject. In this way, vocab words ranging from "tree house" to "Pilates" to "beluga whale" were introduced. I think one of the more challenging parts of this type of learning will be making sure that she gains productive as well as receptive mastery of these words, since they are so random.
