Today was my second session with Fahad. He truly is a very great student who has a drive to learn English, he is so curious, and always asks me the difference between tenses and what the rules are. Today we worked on the present perfect continuous tense. I explained the need for has/have+ been+ gerund (ing). We did a few examples and I had him practice with an interactive computer program. We also performed a mock interview with sample questions like "What are your strengths/weaknesses?", and "Do you manage your time well?". I thought this was very practical because everyone can always use more help with interviewing, especially an ELL. I ended the lesson by asking him to speak with me about Kuwait. I asked him to tell me about the shopping there, tourism, and places to eat and drink coffee. If he made an error I just simply corrected him. We also went over dependent and independent clauses.
