Leslie TS #10 CIES Building 6/13/18 4-5 p.m.

I met with Jorge as a tutee. He told me about his meeting with the apartment owner and his plans to acquire furniture, etc. I understood most of his speech and stopped him to repeat or explain and for me to offer corrections. Related to his pending move adjacent to campus, he asked questions and answered mine on directions, distances, landmarks, etc. around CIES and his apartment close to the College of Medicine. We practiced dialogues he could use when he goes to the eating places and shops close to where he will be living. Also I wrote words, phrases, and sentences that he can practice and build on for communicating with his landlady and apartment neighbors. He practiced questions to use when he needs to clarify what he has heard from someone or he needs to have something repeated. We worked on prepositions of place. He is going to draw a map of the part of campus that he will traverse and describe it to me next time using the prepositions.

Michelle TS #7 Mohammad

Mohammad received his essay back from the instructor about the different modes of transportation he had worked on previously. Although he did not get the highest score possible, he still did well. However, the instructor made a few of the same comments throughout his paper - basically that he was not fully supporting his statements with appropriate background information. We discussed the importance of creating an outline so that it’s easier to organize ideas and then easier to write the assignment. I’m not sure that he will employ the use of outlines every time, but we did discuss the different types of outlines he can use, and then created one for the paper he had worked on. It seems his instructors also incorporate outlines for writing assignments, but he is not doing this for himself when working on homework.

Michelle TS #10 Dojun

Dojun and I had been using news articles for  many of our sessions, so I decided to change it up a bit and show a 5 minute clip of the show Friends. The clip is about a discussion between Phoebe, Joey and Rachel (titled “Joey doesn’t share food”). The speech was a bit fast, but Dojun mentioned that the subtitles helped, although we did have to pause the video often to ensure he was understanding the video. Each time I paused, I asked him to summarize what the scene showed and then asked if he had questions about vocabulary used. It was difficult to explain what clams are until I realized I could google a picture and send it to him.
