Kinsey TS #13

I met with Samuel via Zoom at 3 pm on August 5. 

Topic/Skill: Editing personal academic writing 

Feedback provided to tutee: Samuel and I read through his final paper for his composition class and edited grammar errors, word choice errors, and restructured his paper to improve readability. His research about talent selection in collegiate sports was very interesting and put together very well. I congratulated Samuel on completing such an intense piece of writing in a foreign language. I also helped Samuel with his pronunciation as he read the paper aloud to me to practice his speaking. 

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I learned how rewarding it is for advanced level students to complete a research paper in a foreign language. It helped Samuel in his career by increasing his receptive and productive vocabulary related to his area of interest. In addition, he got to work on his writing skills, grammar production, self-editing, and revision skills.
