Darliin Khahaifa TS#5


Date/Time:.3/26/18 3:00 P.M.
Location: CIES
Topic/Skill: Present verb tenses
Feedback provided to tutee: Mao Mao had some trouble identifying the necessary verb tense to use when doing fill in the blank activities. I told him to be aware of the time expressions used in the sentences and to use them as clues. This seemed helpful to him not only for completing the task, but also for figuring out when to use the different tenses while speaking.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Mao Mao was excited to find that he has been using some of the present verb tenses without realizing it. I explain the present perfect tense to him, and that put a name to a structure that he has some productive mastery of. I found it interesting to see that it is possible to have productive ability of a structure without formally learning it.
