Location: CIES
Partner: Jenny and Yebin
Although I had originally worked with Yebin to tutor her for her upcoming CLEP history exam, she no longer is taking that test so she just wants to improve her English in general. Yebin and Jenny, my new tutor, are friends as they are both Korean. Jenny seems a little more confident in her ability so having all of us talk and learn is a good dynamic. Jenny and Yebin want to learn idioms, so we tried to weave them into our conversation and I tested them on some common idioms. They seem to have some idioms memorized from prior exposure but at times they know just the phrase and not the meaning. I have a feeling some of the other CIES students face a similar dilemma.
