Date/Time: 06/27/18
Location: Leon County Library Main Branch
Topic discussed: Korean Snacks, meeting up again
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: 
This was our last session and Mrs. Kim was kind enough to bring me some of her favorite Korean snacks and beauty products of hers! I asked her about all of these, and she was able to give a brief description of each- A custard filled soft cake, something similar to the American Moon Pie called a Choco-Pie, an Tempura Udon Instant Ramen, and two face masks- one black tea infused and one that was anti-wrinkle, and she says it is her personal favorite.

She also mentioned that she showed the video from the last conversation session, and she said that her husband loved the video,  and that it made him more motivated to go visit!

She said that Astin loved me as a tutor, and that I was great with kids, which was a great boost to my self-esteem! Astin gave me a thoughtful gift of writing me the Korean alphabet, which I cherish dearly, and was touched by the gift.

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.

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.
