Date/Time: 27 June / 3:15 - 4:15PM
Location: Student Lounge @ CIES
Topic/Skill: Speaking + articles
Feedback provided to tutee: I contacted another
student at CIES, Dasom, to see if she would like another tutor. She told me
that she definitely wanted more English practice and went on to say that she
specifically wanted help with articles and being more comfortable with her
speaking. I prepared for her a handout on some basic rules and common mistakes
and gave her a moment to look over it and make sure she understood it. Then, we
worked on some fill-in-the-blank article questions and paragraphs with omitted
articles together. As we went through questions, I was able to reference why
each answer was what using the handout and explained any mistakes she made.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned:
I learned why articles are particularly difficult for Korean learners -they
don't exist in their mother tongue. As a total noob at Korean (and as someone
who is currently brushing up on their English grammar to hopefully teach in
Korea) this will be helpful to keep in mind.
