Robert 5th C.P. with H.L.

 My partner needed my help writing an expository outline. The essay needs to answer a debate topic  based on a personal opinion.  We discussed his understanding of the topic in order to brainstorm what to state in his essay. I guided him to contemplate all the possible view points, beyond his personal stand on the topic, this lead us to thinking about a peculiar factor affecting the debate, consequently, I encourage him extrapolate this idea in his essay.

Dojun and I spoke a little bit more about cultural aspects in our respective countries. Something that I found very interesting was about Kimchi and how much it took to prepare the dish. Dojun talked about his first time making it and it was just honestly very fascinating to hear about. I've done previous research about it, but listening to him speak about it was extremely different than what I had initially anticipated. We also spent a good portion of our time speaking about American greetings. He asked me about "How are you" and the difference in those types of salutations. I told him that they mainly mean the same thing and that they don't hold a significant meaning. This is just something that Americans are conditioned to say. He was amazed by that and kept asking questions about it. I realized that this is something that I could definitely use in future lesson plans with advanced students.

Date/Time: Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:  Formal and informal language For lesson #15 I wanted to incorporate skills that would be useful to Halimah outside of this lesson. I was able to find a topic about writing effective emails, formal and informal language. Formal and informal language isn’t a topic I have previously covered and thought it could be useful to her. This email lesson has a lot of exercises to help learn about email forms, listen to some rules presented in a short video, learn some email vocabulary and practice writing emails. It looks at the structure of an email as well as distinguishes between formal and informal email style and language. First, I covered what formal and informal is. As well as using the videos to help guide and reinforce what I was teaching. I then used the worksheet given I had her divide them into two groups: formal and informal. The next exercise of this email lesson plan includes two emails (informal and formal) t...

Class Observation, Grammar Group 4

 This was solely an interactive class. The instruction required the five students to actively participate with each other. There was no formal instruction nor educational materials for the first part of the class. The instructor had a moderately controlled lesson plan. A student would be sent a word via chat and asked to describe the meaning using clues, thereafter, the other students guessed the word discussed. The difficulty of the vocabulary increase causing the students to rely upon each other. This was followed by another fun activity using fill in the blank to determine when to use do vs. make (for this second part, student were dived into groups). This final active was highly controlled and included a review of the right answers. The instructor corrected students directly by asking to state a sentence using do vs. make to get better comprehension. In conclusion, this interactive class was a fun way to learn using the inductive teaching technique.
