Topic/Skill: Passive and Active Voice & Speaking
Feedback Provided to Tutee: In our previous session Seongeun asked if we could go over passive and active voice. To this tutoring session I brought with me a review of passive and active voice. The review went over how to identify active and passive voice, when to use which, and how to change from passive to active. We went over the review together and then she worked on a couple exercises on applying those skills. Once she was finished completing these exercises, I went over them with her. For both her correct and incorrect answers I explained why they were right or wrong as a continuation of the topic review. I also gave her a short exercise reviewing Articles, which we had gone over in our previous tutoring session. Afterwards, we ended the remaining time of our session with some speaking practice.
Lesson(s) about Tutoring and/or the Tutee You Learned: During our speaking practice I noticed Seongeun was slow in replying and that she gave simple answers. I could tell that as she was forming her sentences she was primarily thinking in her first language and then translating in her head what she wanted to say without making any mistakes. She also expressed to me that she sometimes does not understand what others are saying. I feel like Seongeun is too embarrassed to make mistakes or ask for clarification if she doesn't understand, so I would really like to practice speaking and listening with her more often to improve her fluency.
