My last meeting with Michelle was bitter-sweet. I’m amazed at how much her English has improved; her vocabulary has expanded four-fold. Her pronunciation is still slow-coming, though. I think a factor of this is that she lives with her uncle, a French speaker as well. The immersion really does make a difference in a students ability to communicate, but for me it has been good practice considering I will most likely be teaching English as a foreign language when I go abroad. We were able to talk about a variety of topics. We talked about her church, Spongebob Squarepants, and handsome men to name a few. We also exchanged Skype names so hopefully we can keep in touch!
