Jackson TS #9

 On Thursday, August 5 at 1:00pm, I met with Masoud again for our second tutoring session. We picked up where we left off the previous time, working on pronunciations of minimal pairs, working on those for 20 minutes. Then, we transitioned into a lesson I had created about the past continuous tense. He picked it up fairly quickly, having already studies the present continuous and simple past. The biggest sticking point came over the difference between 'when' and 'while' when making compound sentences with the past continuous and simple past. It took him a little while to grasp the concept of a one time action (simple past) vs. an action that has continued for a period of time (past continuous). After a bit of talking and many examples, though, he understood it perfectly and was able to create many examples of his own.

 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.
