This week I met and tutored Mohammad Jamshir on various subjects in English. In our first lesson, I went over his past work in both English composition and speaking. In his composition work, he was given information that he had to then make into complete sentences, such as "I have to get my book" after being asked what he needed when he wanted to read. He would be given questions such as "What is the equivalent of 'Sail' in your language?" and he would put the answer in his own language, which was in Arabic. We also looked over his past work for group exercises, where he would give his group or partner questions written in English about them, such as "What do you enjoy doing?" and "Where are you from?" and he would be given their answers and he would write them next to his questions in English.
For the speaking part, we went over the pronunciation of certain words and phrases. He would ask me about words he didn't know the meanings of and how they were pronounced. For example, a word he didn't know was "Rope" and pronounced it as "Rop" as he didn't understand why words changed with an added 'e'
Overall it was a great experience and I'm excited to further his understanding of English!
