Tutoring Session #13 (adult) with Dasom
Date/Time:
04/17/17, 3:00-4:00pm
Location:
CIES Courtyard
Topic/Skill:
Reduced Forms and Conversation
For this tutoring session Dasom and I reviewed the reduced forms that we had a lesson on a couple of sessions ago. I used a variety of reduced forms in sentences spoken to her and had her repeat back the full forms of the sentence. I then asked her to practice sentences of her own using the reduced forms. She did great at the first exercise, her comprehension is actually very good. With the second part she had some trouble coming with sentences without a prompt so I started asking her things like 'what do you want to do tonight?' and 'what are you going to do this weekend' so that she could easily formulate sentences with the reduced forms back to me. This took the creative/ on-the-spot element out of the exercise, from their on she did just fine. Dasom has very good receptive vocabulary but lacks a bit in the productive vocabulary but it seems the productive part is always a bit stymied by her general shyness/ nervousness; she tends to have better productive use in casual conversation than in formal lessons.
