Jackson TS #16

On Friday, August 13, at 4:30pm, I met with Masoud on campus. We spent the hour talking about weekend plans and the present perfect tense. Masoud is still a beginner with regards to English, but is crazy smart and picks these kinds of things up very easily. He said this material was completely new to him, so I did my best to go slow and make sure he understood all the steps. The lesson was really just a primer, but I made sure to explain how the tense is used and also when it is not used. After that, I had him do an exercise distinguishing between the past continuous and present perfect, then had him write his own sentences. Overall, he seemed to enjoy the lesson and asked all kinds of good questions, indicating to me that he understood.

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.
