Anne – CP #1

Anne – CP #1

Date/Time: 14 January 2016, 12:00-1:00
Location: Vacant classroom at Hecht House
Topic discussed:
This was a “getting to know you session.”  I introduced myself, and my partner talked about herself, her background, and her interest in English, but mostly when prompted by a question.  Her spontaneous language was fairly weak, so we kept things simple.  Her first language is French, and I speak French, so when she was stuck and could not talk around a word she did not know, we compared the English and the French.

Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned:  I learned how to pronounce the capital of Burkina Faso – Ouagadougou!  I drew a map of the US (well, a rough approximation!), and we talked about different areas of the country, comparing them to Florida.
