On 12/13/2020, six members of the Syosset AYLUS (Leo Cheng, John Thach, Ryan Leung and Alan Huang, Emily Lin, Jasmine Chen) taught a ninety-minute English class to multiple newly immigrated high school students with varying degrees of proficiency in English.
The lesson consisted of three parts: Reading, Writing and Speaking.
Reading tutors Emily Lin and Leo Cheng wrapped up reading about the Minotaur this week. They started off by analyzing another joke. Afterward, the students answered some questions about the myth. Furthermore, there was a new student who did not read “The Minotaur and Theseus,” so instead of learning Slides #18, they read an SAT passage from a previous lesson.
Student tutors Jasmine Chen and John Thach taught the writing portion of AYLUS Syosset’s 18th online ESL Tutoring class. In this class, the tutors began a brand new unit, in which students finally get to apply the various writing and grammar skills they’ve learned thus far. Later, students were led through vocabulary and a story crafting exercise. The class was instructed in English to immerse the students in an English environment.
Ryan Leung & Alan Huang taught the Speaking portion of the English class. In class, a new student of the first kind joined our class. This student instead of being in highschool or college was a complete adult. For this persons lesson, we only had the person read a couple of practice articles and corrected some speaking habits(for example, most important, was pronounced as most-uh important-eh) For the weekly students, we had them watch two videos, the same Chinese movie as previous weeks. And a short clip about someone who takes the elevator but has people join him who are sick and/or cause the elevator to exceed the weight limit. As always, open ended questions were given to the students to answer.
The following 6 students volunteered in today’s tutoring program: John Thach(1.5 hours), Leo Cheng (1.5 hours), Alan Huang(1.5 hours) and Ryan Leung (1.5 hours) Jasmine Chen(1.5 hours), Emily Lin(1.5 hours).
