Tyler Lee TS#5 Adult

April 11Because In-hwa had an in-class debate this week on whether coffee or tea was best, we warmed up by debating the topic for a few minutes and I encouraged her to argue her case for coffee against my case for tea, correcting any errors she may have and helping to make any of her arguments more clear. Since I was hungry at the beginning of our session, we started talking about food; I had In-hwa tell me a bit about her favorite foods from Korea and I shared some of my favorite foods with her. To prime her for the speaking lesson I had prepared for class, I directed the conversation to talk about healthy food choices that are also delicious. After the conversation warm up, I decided it would be appropriate to have In-hwa make a list of five bits of advice she would have for a foreigner visiting Korea on what to (or what not to) eat and drink in order to develop and maintain good health in the country, foucsing on tips that a foreigner might not already know and might benefit from knowing. Once she finished with this, she gave me her advice, and I responded with some of my own suggestions based on my experiences in the US. I ended the session by giving In-hwa another diagram showing tongue placement to aid with pronunciation of vowel sounds and doing a short minimal pair activity with short and long vowel sounds found in the pair want/went.
