The third CIES class I observed was Mr. Ryan Flemming’s Speaking class for Group 3A on Wednesday, June 26th. He started off the class with a schedule of what they were going to cover that day. The first activity was one where the students partnered up and briefly read their timed speaking responses to each other for reviewing. Mr. Flemming then went over the mistakes he heard amongst the discussions and went over pronunciation and where to look them up online. He then brought up a new topic and asked the students to quickly write down two main supporting details to answer the topic. The students after that had to partner up again, this time with new partners, and talked about what they wrote down. During this, Mr. Flemming walked around the room and took notes, again helping out students. The students then partnered up again for the third and final time with a new topic. At the end, Mr. Flemming discussed making questions for student-led discussions and went over a topic list that had been handed out the day before and concluded the class.

Date/Time: 07/17/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: George Lopez and Other American Sitcoms Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Andres and I decided to watch part of an episode of the George Lopez sitcom during our tutoring session, in which Andres was asked to pick up vocabulary or idioms he's never heard before, in which the list was extensive due to the fact that the show is in native English and uses everyday phrases heard in America. Andres also lacked some cultural knowledge on idioms and phrases that were explained to him, to which he enjoyed learning about. At the end of the session, he was given a list of vocabulary words and phrases to cover on his own.

Date/Time: 07/26/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: Final Review Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Seungjae and I met for our second and final tutoring session, in which I set up a review with example sentences and worksheets to allow him to practice grammar tenses he did not understand. This tutoring session took over an hour, as with many of the questions on the practice he had concerns, to which I helped him clarify with detailed explanations and reasons to grammar. He luckily showed much more understanding at the end of the tutoring session, to which I encouraged him to continue his studies and provided him additional information that would help explain these grammar tenses he struggled with.

Date/Time: 07/17/19 Location: CIES Lounge Topic discussed: Review Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: Marcia came in after I met with Andres and we hosted a review of all of the concerns she previously had during her first two tutoring sessions, both of which were answered and clarified. Marcia was able to successfully show understanding of the material during our review on present perfect and present perfect continuous tenses, as well as prepositions, all of which were her only real concerns. With this, Marcia and I concluded our third and final tutoring session, after which I provided her with additional links in the case she doesn't understand or remember grammar we covered in the future before wishing her the best of luck in her future English studies.
