Met with Ali and Badriah at 3pm. He requests(me) to instruct them on questions to ask in the kitchen,using last session's vocabulary list related to the kitchen. We used direct role-play in CIES kitchen with repetition of vocabulary, answering in FULL sentences and no Arabic speaking for now.
I instructed them to avoid Arabic language while in CIES class. My rationale :because thinking and speaking their language simultaneously with english ,will not allow learning of English at this point. The mixing up will not allow them to learn english, which is their their goal. They agreed.
Second part, we reviewed essay writing of introductory paragraph, using Ali's corrected homework. He was able to re-write paragraph.
They are quick learners. Homework is to continue to try to speak only English while in the kitchen at home together.
