 Date/Time: 7/31/21 1PM- 2PM

Location: Zoom

Topic discussed:  Getting to know each other

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned:  The volunteer program I am apart of helps Ukrainian students learn English. We, as volunteers are tasked with taking note of their language and using correcting techniques for their speech. We ask them questions and we get to know each other which gets them talking more. For this session, I learned that Iryna studies German and English. I shared with her my major and the type of classes that I take for that major. We also talked about how to introduce ourselves in our 1st language. While speaking I noticed that Iryna stops herself when she gets stuck and she thinks about the correct form. Even when she doesn't know it immediately she goes to search it up. She relies on me as one of her last option. I also noticed that when she wants me to explain something to her she likes to hear the background and the context in which the word is used.
