Tutee: Sujin Yang

Location: Student Union

Topic/Skill: Diagnostic

Feedback provided to tutee: Mostly implicit corrective feedback on pronunciation

Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or tutee: I learned that ESL students are much happier when they can have a say (not the final choice, but a say) in their own instruction and the structure for it. They will have to make compromises in terms of balance but taking their input into consideration can greatly affect their confidence and motivation.
