Tutoring Section 2 with Michaella
Date/Time: March 23, 2016/ 4:00p.m.-5:00p.m.
Location: Starbucks near the CIES on the Tennessee Street
Topic/Skill: Grammar, idioms, and Mid-term Exam/Study on a
mid-term exam and practice grammar and idioms
Feedback provided to tutee: The first part of section, Michaella
and I studied on basic theories of language acquisition. The second part of section, I answered grammar
questions for tenses and idioms
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: The
basic theories of language acquisition are behaviorism, innatism, and
Interactionism. Behaviorism was explained by Lada (1964) as an imitation,
practice and habit. Innatims was explained by Chomsky (1959) as a set of
principles for all languages. Interactionism was explained by Long (1983) as an
interactional modification.
I practiced the grammar. I wrote these sentences to practice
correct tenses: “I tried to explain to him the problem, but he had difficulty
understanding me.” “I don’t know why you didn’t go. If I were you, I would
have gone.” “Kate claims that if had gotten she got an MBA after finishing her
bachelor's degree, she might have been considered for the position.”
Idioms are “regret to inform”, “spoke on my behalf”,
and “ended up getting.”
