Conversation Partner
Student Name: Mutaz Bakri Date:
Friday January, 23-2015 Foundations
Level A1. Location:
Starbucks close to CIES.
Mutaz is from Taif, Saudi Arabia. He needed help with
vocabulary and sentence writing. I was able to help him with a long list of basic
simple present sentences. I did explain to him the meaning of over 25 day to
day use words like food, bird, meat, address, types of vegetables, etc. The use
of the symbol %, he knows the meaning but he wrote in the incorrect location
before the number. He normally writes from left to wright and he is making a
great effort to overcome the habit. He had some difficulty with words and
understanding words on a productive way is his main goal. He is intensively working
on a vocabulary list of about 1500 words.
Mutaz told me that he wants to learn English because he
wants to complete a MS on physical education. He is concerned with the fact
that he hardly had anybody to speak English with him. I suggested for him to
contact Jennifer to get him signed with several conversation partners. He asked
me to write on paper a message to Jennifer requesting help. I did commend him for his hard work. We had an
interesting conversation it lasted almost 2 hours. He was happy with the help
with vocabulary and the understanding he gained with some of the words that I
explained to him.
