In-hwa presented about Korean culture in her class yesterday and she wanted to talk me through the presentation for me to learn a little bit more about Korean culture and to give her input on her delivery of the topics. As to be expected, her pronunciation with the sounds that we have been working with like <l>, <r>, <w>, <j>, <z>, and <th> is still not perfect, but I can tell that she has been giving more thought to her articulation and she will correct herself sometimes when she recognizes that she used the wrong sound. Luckily, this is not diminishing her fluency significantly and I feel that she has improved her speaking speed since I have been working with her. In-hwa's presentation was very interesting and I learned a lot about marriage customs and cultural expectations in Korean culture especially. After her presentation, I broached the subject of marriage in the US and we watched a short video clip about the evolving definition of marriage in the US, focusing a lot on gay marriage and the reduced religious significance for many of the US citizens. We had a lot of interesting conversation this session and I think that the best thing I've been able to do for In-hwa's development is facilitate speech production, serve as a model, and help correct any grammatical or pronunciation errors that she may make.
