5pm
Tennessee St. Starbucks
Topic/Skill:
-Definite and Indefinite articles.
-Forms of the adjective "going."
-Vocabulary.
Today I tutored Mutaz Bakri, my tutee from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. We meet up and sat outside of a Starbucks Coffee shop near the CIES building on Tennessee St. Upon greeting and seating ourselves, I asked him what English language subject I could help him with. Mutaz said he is in Foundations classes and is getting very good grades. Yet, he told me that he had a limited vocabulary and wanted me to help him with his speaking fluency. We first started considering new vocabulary words from his class notes by asking him what their meaning was. Once this was established, we started practicing using these and new words in sentences. After that, practiced using the correct forms of the "going" in sentences using the new vocabulary words we learned. Finally, we reviewed the use of definite and indenite articles by refering to objects and situations in Mutaz'es daily life.
Today's experience tutoring Mutaz has taught me that teaching a foundations student requires a lot of creativity, patience, and humor. For my next lesson, I will prepare a combination of vocabulary words and illustrations, including video, which will help him and my other students around his level easily learn this new material.
