Kerri TS #3

Tonight I met with Abdullah for our second tutoring session. At our first meeting he told me that he wanted to work on his composition, so he brought a notebook from a past session to show me some examples of his writings. Topics ranged from "What does it mean to be brave?" to "Is it okay to judge someone based off of their appearance?" I asked him to write a short journal entry for me telling me what he did last weekend. He wrote about meeting new friends and cooking with them. He has some trouble with articles and word order occasionally, but overall he is noticeably improving from the example entries he shared with me. He also asked me to help him with his pronunciation of words because people sometimes have trouble understanding his accent. We practiced by reading out loud, and I corrected him if he mispronounced anything. For our next session I am going to prepare some phonetic activities and research phonetic patterns to help him better understand.
