Topic/Skill: Revising and Ben Franklin
practice/ Writing and speaking
Feedback provided to tutor, Neila : I
brought my three classroom observation blogs and she revised them. She changed my sentences into simple but
easier to understand, so I felt that her editing was similar to a stroke of a
professional artist.
And then I showed her Ben Franklin practice
which I had been working on over this weekend.
She was interested in it, too.
She read a dialog with word stresses and intonation, and I marked them
with some symbols.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee
you learned: I had a lot of practical
lesson from her. First, I should
capitalize the first letter of all words after a colon. Second, ‘barely’ should
be put before a verb. Third, feedback is
an uncountable word, because it has a lot of responses in it. Forth, ‘in 3 separate groups’ is more
understandable than ‘divided into 3 small groups’.
In American English, Every sentence has
content and function words. I should stress the latter to sound natural. Like Korean, I should pronounce linking
sounds smoothly. Pronouncing linking
sounds and stressed words seemed evident and clear to Americans, but I have no
choice but to learn rules of pronunciation like grammar. I think that I should learn and teach how to
pronounce more naturally to communicate each other.
