Hello Class!
I know there is a new CIES-TEFL going on right now, but I deem us the coolest!! For my last tutoring session I went to English Conversation Club. There was no one there for the first 15 so Maria and I were going to leave, but I ran iinto someone who overheard me talking about Costa Rica and we talked. Long story short, some students showed up and wanted to converse. I came prepared with an activity to do. I picked up one of the many campus newsletters and decided to choose an article to read as a group and go over. This particular article was on Bobby Bowden. the students I worked with had very good control over their English and read very well. I told them to stop when they came across a word or phrase that they did not understand. They understood all of the article and even some of the witty jokes that went along with it. I feel very good about how that session went, because it was more than just talking about our lives and how our day went, though important, I feel like this activity will help these students in their reading while they are at home and studying. Thats all for now!
