 Zhou and I met at Greenwise on July 26 from 4-5pm


I then did minimal pairs with Zhou today. I took notes on the specific sounds he was failing to make and read off minimal pairs. I asked him to write them down and then differentiate and define them for me. He found this activity to be somewhat challenging. I looked up a list of words with the r/l sound, the l/w sound, g/k, and b/v sound. I gave him feedback on each word. He would oftentimes fail to listen to what word I was saying. His trouble lies mainly in listening rather than speaking. The only sound that is a significant issue is the r/l sound. I finished with a short verb tense exercise again from Owl at Purdue to be consistent. The exercise this time was based on a longer paragraph so I asked him comprehension questions at the end. I recorded two minutes of what he was saying and gave him feedback.

 July 30th When working with Jael I realized on paper her English is almost perfect she can write sentences, uses some grammar, and knows a wide array of words. Her biggest issue is speaking and having conversations, so today was all conversations and reading. Jeah read a couple short stories and we just had a conversation about them.
