Darliin Khahaifa TS#9


Date/Time: April 4, 2018 3:00 P.M.- 4:00 P.M.
Location: CIES
Topic/Skill: Modern art listening activity
Feedback provided to tutee: Mao Mao feels that listening is one of the more difficult skills for him to practice. The most challenging aspect for him is staying focused during the entire passage. During our session we practiced taking notes as a strategy for staying focused. The combination of the physical act of taking notes and the need to listen closely to produce notes helped him to stay focused for the entire passage.   
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I practiced building schema before having Mao Mao listen to the recorded passage. I had to opportunity to see first-hand how powerful schema building can be. We discussed modern art and its popularity in China. Starting with the discussion piqued Mao Mao’s interest in the recording, helping him to stay focused while listening.
