Dojun session #4
Location: Zoom
Topic/Skill: Idioms and American Culture
Feedback provided to tutee: In the previous tutoring session we watched a step brothers clip where they could pronounce the name PAM correctly. We realized there was plenty of idioms in the video which made him not understand the video and very briefly understand what it was about. Before the lesson I reviewed and wrote out each idiom and phrase used in the video and added definitions about it.
The first part of the session we just talked about our week. He has greatly improved in his speech, I think he may just feel more comfortable around me now because he does less mistakes.
Afterwards, we went through each section of the 3 minute video and discussed the idiom/ phrase and meaning behind it. We did not finish going over the whole video so we will continue during the next session.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Native speakers need to be more receptive to phrases and idioms we use in a normal basis in order to properly educate non native speakers for increased understanding and communication.
