My new conversation partner is Dojun and he is from South Korea. He is 41 years old and works for an airline. He is looking to improve his English for work and mainly for international travel in the near future. We began by introducing ourselves and then went into a conversation about COVID-19 and the restrictions that our countries are putting into place. I told him about my experience with a waiter who wasn't wearing her mask while working. He seemed shocked by the stories I was telling him and asked questions along the way. I also explained to him how regulations work with each state/governor. I then went into detail about Florida and how things have been running here. We then went into detail about South Korea and how his company has been with everything. He went into great detail about a variety of things and I truly think that his English is great.

Date/Time: 12/11,   Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:   Present Simple & Present Continuous For this lesson, we covered the present verb tenses. (Present simple & Present Continuous)  Of course, the lessons always begin with an agenda. I began first with the present simple. Sometimes videos do a really good job explaining so I played a seven-minute video first. We covered affirmative, negative, and interrogative. I have never taught or coordinated a lesson on grammar before so I didn’t know how challenging it could be when the student asks certain questions. My examples for the present simple –   Affirmative – They have a car. Negative – They don’t have a car.  Interrogative – Do you have a car?   We went back and forth taking turns on examples, so she got the hang of it. After she began understanding, the main activity was presented. During one of our last sessions learning cover letters/ purpose statements we had learned how...

Date/Time: 12/14,  3:00 - 4:00  Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:  Future simple, Future continuous, Future perfect, and Future perfect continuous.   In continuation of lessons on verb tenses, I created a lesson plan on Future simple, Future continuous, Future perfect, and Future perfect continuous. I found a video that covered all four future tenses, even though it was a bit longer than I usually like to put in the lesson. I started out by asking her simple questions such as, “What will you eat for dinner?” and “Where will you go for your next vacation?” After this lesson, she will be able to:  1. Use 'will' to describe the future. 2. Use 'be going to' to describe the future. 3. Use 'be' + a verb + ing to describe the future. I made slides that had examples. Some of my examples were –    Future Simple Affirmative – It will snow this winter. Future Simple Negative –  It won’t snow this winter. Future Simple Interrogativ...

Date/Time: 12/14,  1:00 - 2:00  Halimah Alnakhli Location: Zoom Meeting Topic Discussed:  Present Perfect recap and worksheet. Other words such as already, just, yet. In this lesson, I wanted to continue lessons on verb tenses. I have a standalone worksheet that deals with Present Perfect and other words such as already, just, yet. I took notes on the last sessions we had and Present Perfect was one of the verb tenses that she was not able to fill in the blanks or get right on the multiple-choice. I wanted to do a standalone lesson on this verb tenses specifically. I want to show Halimah how to use these words in specific situations. Apart from practical tasks, I will also role-play two scenarios. The worksheet starts with a short discussion about throwing a party and things that might go wrong while doing it. Then since I am working with her and she is the only student it moves to a short dialogue that checks her ideas mentioned in the discussion. The dialogue ...
