Simin Harvin TS#8 & TS#9

Date/Time: Friday 9/26/2025, 12:30-2:30 pm

Location: FSU

Topic/Skill: Grammar, listening and Reading

I checked and gave him feedback on his reading assignment. We also worked on worksheets I prepared for grammar, listening, and reading at the beginner level. Below are the areas we covered during the session:

Grammar

·         Explained and practiced the Simple Past Tense.

·         Provided a worksheet and a list of regular and irregular verbs.

 

Comprehension, Reading, and Listening

·         Listening: I read a short paragraph to him and then asked questions about the story.

·         Reading: He read a short paragraph and answered related questions.

 

Homework

·         Grammar practice handout.

·         Reading handout with comprehension questions.

 

Speaking (Conversation)
We had a short conversation about his week, what he did, and his plans for the weekend. I also asked him questions about his country. He is improving and seems more relaxed in conversation, but he still needs encouragement to use complete sentences. I allocated about 10 minutes for this activity.

 

Improvements
He has made progress in comprehension, listening, and vocabulary. His speaking still needs work, but he is trying more and feels more comfortable expressing himself. I will begin providing higher-level materials to continue challenging him.

 

Next Session Plan

·         Review his homework.

·         Work on the Simple Future Tense and Prepositions of Time.

·         Continue with reading and listening, using more challenging texts (low-intermediate to intermediate level), since the beginner level is becoming too easy for him.
