Date/Time: Friday 08/28
Location: Zoom
Topic/Skill: How to Read English (Speaking and Listening)
Feedback provided to tutee: Grammar error correction/presentation feedback
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Sanghun wanted to choose the video for today. He found a Tedtalk by a woman who has developed the Nardagani reading system which helps people learning to read English decode the sounds of letters. She noticed that through her own daughter's experience learning to read, the English reading system in America is not very helpful to children who struggle in school. By creating symbols to indicate the sound letters make, it is easier for children to learn the pronunciation. Before the video, we talked about our own experiences with learning to read as well as how much we enjoyed reading. After the video, we did short presentations to each other about the books we are reading. Sanghun told me about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book and how he finds them easy to follow. He also mentioned that the font size is big and clear which makes it easier to read. I told him about the book I am reading in Chinese. We talked about the difficulties of reading in another language and then ended our session by talking about our favorite books.
