Emily_CIES Group Tutoring_4

Giulio was the only person who showed up to tutoring today.  I caught him up on everything we had done since he came to tutoring.  He told me that he went through the adjective PowerPoint that I sent the group and that the pictures really helped him.  We went through all of it and talked through every word.  He needed help with the pronunciation of some of the words, and we talked about the meaning of each of them.  He came up with synonyms and example sentences, which I wrote on the board for him.  I can tell that this helped him since he has trouble with pronunciation.  He seemed to enjoy talking about the new words and committing them to memory.  Giulio told me that he wants to work on his listening skills and that it is really hard for him to understand what other people are saying when listening in on their conversations.  He says that the slang and fast-talking makes it difficult.  He did point out that having a conversation with someone is a little easier because you are engaged and being asked questions.  He wants to listen to videos and discuss them afterwards, which sounds like a good idea to me.
