Today I had my second adult tutoring session with Isik. I planned for us to review over some of the midterm exam material, as well as have Isik complete an advanced error correction worksheet. I also prepared a writing exercise for Isik, but we quickly ran out of time. I learned it can be tricky when trying to gauge the amount of time that will be needed for each exercise.
While Isik completed the error correction worksheet, I did my best to help her through the process. I found myself wanting to give Isik the correct answer whenever she got stuck. However, I knew this would only falter her learning process. I made sure to give Isik the amount of time she needed, unless she asked for my help. Isik also taught me the importance of explaining idioms to ESL students. Many of the sentences included on the error correction worksheet contained idioms that Isik was unaware of. I am thankful that Isik can share her own insight from her second language learning experience.
