Session Activity- Pronoun Chart
Item Produced- Pronoun Chart
Summary- Went through the pronoun chart. Got every one of them wrong, I know why. Great eye-opening experience
Linguistic Effective- Doing the chart beforehand and then hearing his constructions,THEN writing his constructions totally re-wired the way I was thinking about things and helped me get to a point of understanding fairly quickly. He liked having the chart in front of him and collecting the phrases in his mind while I was writing.
Linguistic Ineffective- We got mixed up at some point and he started saying the same constructions for two of the pronouns. I tried to fish around and find the right one by trying to make sense of what he was saying, but it just fell apart. I accepted a brute force method of a long parade of similar questions in order to resolve the discrepancy. I still don't think I got a good answer
Linguistic Provisional Improvements- There needs to be a better method of what to do when a speaker says the same thing
Cultural Effective- Meh. It was grammar. He enjoyed the structure, and working together through the confusion did improve our communication skills
Cultural Ineffective- I think he got confused by the forms that did make sense. Maybe those should just go off. When we were complete he also asked for other questions. I think it was too dry and he was expecting something a little more worthwhile for his time
Cultural Provisional Improvements- Warn my speaker before a lengthy grammar exercise
Tomorrow-
Further Comments- I learned alot.
