Rylee TS #11,#12

Me and Daniella went over some more vocab words and irregular forms of verbs. She said she wanted more vocabulary that was/is commonly used in conversations and other enviroments. I composed a list of words that she may not know and we practiced using them in sentences and went over where/how the words are used. We practiced using these in conversations also and thought of ways she can use these words.

  Tutoring session #20: December 13 3pm Location: Student Union Topic: Christmas Culture Feedback provided to the tutee: Since this was the last time we would be meeting for the semester I decided to do simple reading comprehension and discussion. For the reading comprehension I gave a passage about “Novenas” which is a Colombian Christmas tradition. The feedback I gave was correction on the multiple choice and free response answers on the work sheet I provided. Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: It was a lot of fun being able to share my culture with Miguel. I could tell he was invested the more I was able to explain my own traditions in my family. It was great to connect with Miguel at this level.

During a recent class, the teacher shared a piece of advice or a saying from their country, emphasizing how cultural context can enhance writing. To illustrate this, they read a student’s paper aloud and corrected it in front of the class, explaining the rationale behind each change to help everyone understand the importance of clear expression. One student presented her paper about her trip to New Orleans, and since many classmates hadn’t visited the city, the teacher took the opportunity to introduce them to its vibrant culture and notable attractions. This not only enriched their understanding of the paper but also sparked interest in exploring new places. Overall, the session combined practical writing skills with a broader appreciation of cultural experiences.

  Tutoring session #17: December 8 3pm Location: Student Union Topic/skill: Listening comprehension in casual conversation Feedback provided to the tutee: This session we also conducted a dictionary comp exercise but from casual conversation. I recorded a conversation with my friend ahead of time of us talking about how we are studying for finals week and our plans for winter break. The feedback I provided was first some vocabulary and linguistic support then we went through and made sure he caught all of the words and I asked him a general comprehension question. Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Lessons about the tutee that I learned is that the repetition definitely does help as well as the fill in the blank as what he still struggles with is minimal pairs and hearing the differences between certain words. However he still can comprehend a lot through context clues but it’s important he learns to decipher minimal pairs and their meanings.
