TP #5 Mel

On Wednesday I met Mitsue in the CIES kitchen. Since she asked me a lot of grammar questions last time we met I decided to bring a grammar book with me and I felt moderately prepared until inevitably she ask me something that’s not in the book. At first we went over adjectives, adverbs and pronoun and then she started asking me about modal verbs. I knew we had just gone over this two weeks ago in TEFL yet I drew a blank. She luckily had a worksheet from class about it and I redeemed myself by coming up with different ways she could remember them and creating some practice examples. But, she still is having trouble with it so it is going to be the main focus at our next meeting. We ended our meeting by going over pronunciations, she has trouble with her “R” and “L” as well as with “TH” and “T.” This week I realized I think my tutoring session with her will benefit from a structured lesson plan, so I plan on implementing that for our next meeting.
