For our July 29, 3-4PM session, I decided to play a Taboo style game with Talal. I gave him a list of pre-intermediate vocabulary words for each of us to draw on. We alternated rounds describing different words on the list, with the other person having to guess the word within a limited time frame. This fun game allowed us to work on several skills. Firstly, it was a speaking intensive activity that required relatively rapid speech. It also gave us the chance to go over any unfamiliar vocabulary words and to correct mispronunciation that affected meaning. There was some cultural discussion as well! One of the words was "joke" so, as an example, I introduced Talal to knock-knock jokes which are very popular in American culture. All in all, it was a very productive and fun session!
