Jeongmin Ko February 25th
Buffalo Wild Wings 10 pm - 11:45 pm roughly.
What luck that we are both night owls! Jeongmin and I met at BWW and got a hightop booth and some tablets. We logged into the trivia game. He chose the name Boss and I chose Nerd. This exercise was great for reading fluency and speed. You have to answer as fast as you can to get the most points. He was very great at reading, but we ended up reading together pretty soon after the game started. There was no way we could have built up enough schema to play trivia. I didn't even know all the answers.
This was a great way for me to better evaluate Ko's level and devise ways to help him improve. I notice that he doesn't join words in a natural way. "Stand down" for instance would come out as "Standuh down." first time would come out "firstuh time" So I showed him thow to join words to sound more natural. firstime, standown. etc. That was a great revelation and big help for him.
All in all, I think it was a good use of our time together. He learned so much and the next day texted that was the best time he had in the US to date. So that's great!
