Evan TS#2

I met with Andres on Monday in the Hecht house, and he told me he wanted to improve his productive vocabulary. To do the, we went over a few of his previous prompts to review words that he "settled" with when writing. For example, we came up with a few alternatives for "technological devices" which included using specifics to better define what he was trying to say. He desires fluency and is aware that his sentences could have a more natural flow. For our next meeting I plan on bringing in a prompt topic that will test the limits of his vocabulary to give me a better idea of what specific areas of his English he wants to expand. During our casual conversation I learned that he is from Colombia, has a dob, and finished his major in International Business. He plans to stay in the U.S. to get a job.
