For my final tutoring session with Ahlam, we decided to work more on
prepositions of place and also some more pronunciation. Ahlam is an older student, and it has
been inspiring to watch her progress over the course of the semester. With the
help of her CIES classes and a lot of individual study her vocabulary, grammar,
and pronunciation have all markedly increased. When we first began our tutoring sessions, Ahlam was only
able to compose short sentences and I found it difficult to understand her.
However, she is now able to communicate her thoughts a lot more effectively.
Just as we talked about in class how in the beginning of learning a language a
student makes big jumps which then progressively decrease as the student gets
more advanced, I was able to witness that in Ahlam. I also feel that I have learned a lot from Ahlam as a
teacher, because she has challenged me to come up with exercises more
appropriate for older students.
