Monday, I met up with Kwang. He was assigned to me as a tutee, but told me that he wanted to focus on speaking, so our meeting have been CP meetings instead. This time, however, I wanted to mix things up a bit. We started off by just talking about the news and the weather, and I asked him what kind of restaurants around town he liked. he told me that he liked subway, and I told him that was one of my favorites too, but that it didn't really reflect local culture too well. I asked him if he would like to go to a barbecue joint sometime, and he said maybe(he has been very hesitant about meeting outside of the library). Then I figured I could do some tutoring by making him dictate for a while. I found a random book about native Americans and read a paragraph. His writing skills are flawless, and his listening skills seem to be about 98% accurate. He only ever messed up when he would mishear a word that still made sense(like "in" and "on"). However, if he misheard a word and it didn't make sense, he would be able to back at the end of the sentence and replace it with the correct word by using context. Next time I think we will do dictocomp, since he seems to be advanced enough that dictation is too easy.
