Yesterday I was looking at different activities for English learners in the internet, and I stumbled upon a nice ESL site with suggestions on how to teach and with activities. As I was looking, I found a random word generator.
Now, what good is that? Well, it happened to be very useful as we played "pictionary" during our tutoring session. We used a white board for that purpose.
We also played charades. It was fun, and my student was constantly learning new words. I was surprised at how many words she learned, everyday words for me, but totally new to her.
Lastly, I had her read another article regarding a change in the immigration laws in Japan. I focused more on pronunciation and vocabulary. If she pronounced a word incorrectly, I would show her how to pronounce it correctly at the end of the paragraph or sentence. This would give her some time to try to capture the gist of the paragraph and would give her a better chance of finding out what the word meant.
As always, I am looking forward to the next session!
