NALC Meeting 8
The most recent opportunity I've had to tutor was the second session on top of my previous post from 11 a.m. to 12. I was able to work with another female student that was from a foreign country in the Middle East only this time, her pronunciations were not the main concern as with the previous student. We worked on long versus short vowel sound rules along with general I before E rules. The biggest help came when she pointed out what wanted to work more with numbers such as the list with numbers through 100. We were able to shift gears mid-way through the session and focus more on words. By the end of the session, we had jumped back to the book and were creating new words and concepts on paper in order for her to expand her vocabulary and understanding even more. She was so nice during the entire session I was very elated by her enthusiasm and drive throughout the session. Very fun to work with.

I also worked with a man on long and short vowel sounds. He was Hispanic and so it was hard for him to grasp the two different sounds for each vowel.
