Date/Time: Sep. 18/ 4: 30~ 6:00

Location: LeLoy Collins library

Topic/Skill: Pronunciation Packet (Speaking Group 2)/ Pronunciation

Feedback provided to tutor, Hannah: Before starting studying English, we studied Korean. She brought her Korean study book published by Sook-myoung Women’s University.  She likes it because it has a lot of opportunities to make real and communicative sentences.  I corrected her sentences which had very small mistakes, so I was surprised by her job.  After that, we hit the booklet about pronunciation from Blackboard Content of Speaking.  She explained how to pronounce consonants and vowels and performed those sounds. She listened to my pronunciations carefully and corrected them.  She showed other tongue twists on her phone.

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutor, Hannah you learned: She told me that when I spoke ‘world’ or ‘darling’ which have ‘r’ and ‘l’,  I could put ‘h’ between them. That means /worhld/ or /darhling/.  It worked.  I could not have understood how to do it without her. 

She contacted the Korean agency and he said the places to work in Seoul are not enough now, so she has to apply to Kyoung-ki area or Busan.  She has Korean friends in Seoul and keeps touch with them until now, so she wants to get her job is Seoul.  I wish her good luck.
