Week 6


This week I met with my student Asami her level of English was quite low but was able to communicate with her. I talked with her and found what she was looking to improve was her writing and speaking. I explained my brief 2 to her and she was happy to participate. Next week I’ll start giving her lessons. I also observed an English class and learnt about the academic word list and strategies for teaching.  I will now make a lesson plan in which to use and a feedback sheet for Asami. I’m going to have to do some research before I’m ready to start teaching.    

Week 5


 In week 5 my son fell ill and I was unable to come to class or do any work on my brief 2. I did however find someone in which to tutor English in which to tutor a Japanese student named Asami Miura. She is studying English here. I’m looking forward to tutoring her and nervous about it too I haven’t taught anyone before.  

Week 4


This week I managed to catch up with work and complete my brief one. I’m beginning to wonder if my brief 2 will be two difficult to complete. I am however looking forward to gaining experience my chosen career path. I feel better having caught up with my work I hope I will not fall behind again.
