So after having to cancel Brian and my culture class due to a lack of students, Yi-Jhen asked if we could spend the time tutoring instead. She explained that she thought her receptive skills had improved dramatically since she'd moved to Tallahassee, but she thought her speaking needed the most work. She wanted to tell me about her weekend and have me offer feedback on grammatical and pronunciation errors that she made during her story. As I listened, I noticed that her English has improved an incredible amount since the first time she and I met. She told me about some boy she had met in whom she was interested, and her visit to Alligator Point. The only errors she made while telling the story were a few confusions with tense and lack of vocabulary. I corrected her as she asked me to do, but overall she needed very little help in sharing her story.
