Simon Kennell TS #16

Today I met with Ima at CIES for our final tutoring session. There were 6 or 7 sentences left over from his vocal recordings that I had typed out for him to review. We discussed corrections for these sentences and Ima read the sentences out loud a couple of times until he felt comfortable with them. After reviewing his vocal recordings, we went through a couple of dialogue passages and discussed pronunciation and intonation in a few areas that he was having problems with. Finally, Ima and I had a conversation about his progress and how I feel that he can better. I expressed to him that his English has definitely improved and that to continue improving, he must continue actively engaging in conversation with native speakers. I have really enjoyed meeting with Ima and we will stay in contact for the foreseeable future.
