Although I often have a Teaching Partner type arrangement with K- at the library in Tallahassee, today we just did a free conversation. Part of it was that I was still fried from a very busy weekend, and the other part was that I had given a TOEIC lesson in the morning where a lot of things did not go as planned. I chalk that up to Youtube giving me problems.
Sometimes a low tech approach is better, and for the remainder of that class I simply read the text instead of using youtube to deliver the material. For K-'s lesson at the library we talked about Florida wildlife. We also talked about what K- wants to do back home and her intention to work as a travel agent. Some discussion of how her experience as a teacher carries over to this new career path. I gave her vocabulary and showed her a few grammar patterns to use to make comparisons, but this as this was a lesson where we just talked that wasn't the focus of the discussion.
I agreed to continue tutoring K- over skype after she returns to her home country.
