This was a good training “model session”.
Equipment >
You do not use headphones with a microphone so the student can really hear the sounds. Reason?
Do you ever incorporate an electronic pencil with whiteboard to highlight stress patterns and linking?
Using the shared google doc is effective. You keep all the notes and HW in one document per student. Do you incorporate the pre-set lesson slides into the student’s google page?
Having the proper lighting on your mouthpiece (can we order one for training sessions?) is essential.
Sequence> I thought the session flowed well for this student but was rushed at the end. Given her language background which I am very familiar with in France, I would’ve spent a bit more time having her read more sentences to work on her stress and intonation. Reason for you not to do this?
However, I like how you had her provide a personal text that was used to highlight language difficulties in the second part of the lesson. She writes like she speaks. She has common language problems with verb patterns (present/past perfect and past tense like many French speakers do) and other grammar problems. I might have spent more focused time on the first paragraph to cover grammar/writing skills and also have her practice her speaking skills with her own text, correcting her productive skills simultaneously. Getting into the second paragraph took time away from the end of session which seemed rushed as you pointed out.
I do like how you took every opportunity to write down her expressions to use as content for a streaming learning experience. Developing rapport with the student allows for a rich training session! Super interesting!
