By practicing
asking follow-up questions, my student learned how to respond to what J just
said and then came up with a question to continue the conversation.
With the article
from the supplementary reading, Studying Abroad, we touched upon international
students in the university. We then proceeded to talk about the pros and cons
of social media after J introduced her major, communications and media. I showed my
student how to carry on the conversation with some questions that were simple
but effective. She then practiced asking her own and began to get the hang of
it.
With the other one
called in sick today, there were only three of us, but we all enjoyed this
class a lot. J and I guided the student to respond and ask questions in
English, and she really made significant progress.
I hope more of my students can learn English this way. By creating an authentic environment for
learners to use the language, they'll feel the need as well as have fun
expressing themselves in English.
