(Dojun)
Date/Time: August 1, 2017; 8:00am
Location: Skype
Topic/Skill: Conversation Skills, Vocabulary
Feedback provided to tutee: In today's session, Dojun and I worked on pronunciation, grammar structure, and vocabulary expansion.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Dojun is currently balancing a full time job, planning a wedding, and learning English. As such, he is very tired by the end of the day (when our sessions are in Korean time), and isn't at optimal levels of energy for language-learning. That being said, I can already see improvement in his fluency skills-- maybe it's because he's becoming more comfortable talking with me, but he seemed much less inhibited today than during our first session and was able to speak fairly confidently, even though his accuracy was much the same. I think that for adult tutees it is important to keep them engaged by conversing about things they would actually have to talk about normally-- work, wedding planning, how to greet in-laws, etc.-- and using that as a base to discuss grammar, conjugation, and pronunciation.
