Location: Tutee's place
Topic/Skill: Pronunciation, reading comprehension, vocabulary
The tutee had borrowed several ESL learning-friendly books from the library, because he was supposed to do some reading as homework. Appropriately enough, one of the books happened to be with fairytale stories from the Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen. All of his stories are read to Danish children and Andersen is very important to the Danish people. Therefore, we chose to read one of his stories (The Ugly Duckling). The tutee read aloud and I started noticing some pronunciation patterns. We talked about these patterns to make him more aware of them (for example: he had a tendency to neglect pronouncing the 's' at the end of plural words like 'eyes'). We wrote down new vocabulary and phrases and went over them afterwards.
