 Meeting with Je-ah again, we reviewed telling time once again and practiced more with the quizlet. After practicing time for a bit, I brought back our activities that we had studied previously and the two of us worked together to come up with a schedule for how to spend a Saturday.

 For my last session with Je-ah, I wanted to make it fun, so I found a few different word games we could play that used familiar vocabulary. The games helped in every session to build her confidence in speaking, and although I overlooked it for our time together, looking back I noticed she gave me more feedback on days where I drew her focus and got her talking with activities like the quizlet matching game.

 For my last session with Muhannad, he asked me about the connecting word “while.” It was something I hadn’t explained to someone else before, so together we looked up a list of all connecting words and found a page from the Perdue Owl that covered all the different types of connecting words and where to use them. Since the website was written for native speakers, this session was a little longer as I taught myself the information and then helped Muhannad break it down and pick out patterns he could use to determine when to use each one. We ended out session with a conversation about our plans after these tutoring sessions, from what the rest of our classes looked like to what we hoped to do after finishing our studies. Throughout all our tutoring session, we always had such interesting conversations about studying and language, among several other things, and I greatly enjoyed working with him.

 I showed up at CIES for the tutoring session with Muhannad today and the EFL students and teachers were having a party for the end of the session. We decided to join the party for our session today, as they were playing Taboo, which is a great way to practice speaking, listening, and vocabulary. After the games were finished, I made sure to have a conversation with Muhannad, and I explained the meaning behind the word taboo and why it is used as the name of the game. We chatted more about school and learning a second language, focusing on study strategies and the difference between studying at CIES and my experience learning French for my school’s foreign language requirement.
