On 2/21/2021, seven members of the Syosset AYLUS (Leo Cheng, John Thach, Ryan Leung, Alan Huang, Emily Lin, Jasmine Chen, and Greene Xue) taught a ninety-minute English class to multiple newly immigrated high school students with varying degrees of proficiency in English.
In class, there were 3 classes with 3 levels; Intro (Ryan and Greene), Intermediate (Alan, Leo and Emily), and Advanced (John and Jasmine).
In the intermediate class, Emily Lin, Leo Cheng, and Alan Huang taught their lesson using slides which were based off of the “interchange” book. Unit 5: Hit the Road, was completed during this session. Suggestion and necessity words were introduced like should and shouldn’t. The differentiation between the words going to and will were also practiced upon.
Student tutors Jasmine Chen and John Thach taught the advanced class of AYLUS Syosset’s 27th online ESL Tutoring class. In this class, the tutors continued working out of the new Interchange ESL textbook. Students completed chapter 4 of the textbook, which focused on media and breaking news. Students then participated in review activities, which included review jeopardy among other activities.
Ryan and Greene did a progress check for their class. They watched a quick video about a persons daily life and then answered questions. They also went over how to tell time, time expressions(the correct way to use at, until, on. I.e We went to school at 8, we stayed until midnight, we went on the weekend), demonstratives, different types of jobs in different work environments, things you can find in a supermarket and specific sections in the supermarket, containers of things you can purchase at a supermarket and quantifiers( I.e instead of 70% of people, you would say most people or a lot of people).
The following 7 students volunteered in today’s tutoring program: John Thach(1.5 hours), Leo Cheng (1.5 hours), Alan Huang(1.5 hours), Ryan Leung (1.5 hours) Jasmine Chen(1.5 hours), Emily Lin(1.5 hours), and Greene Xue(1.5 hours).
