On Thursday June 16th, I had my first Skype meeting with Dojun Kim. Due to the time difference, we met at 8:00 am. Meeting over Skype was somewhat difficult due to connectivity issues, but we made it work. As Professor Kim said, he is incredibly eager to learn. He has studied English in high school as well as some classes in college. I spent the first meeting simply trying to test his productive/receptive skills. He seemed to understand everything I said, only stopping me once to clarify an idiom I had used. His job requires him to have good listening skills and comprehension. He also stated that he wanted to work on his grammar skills on “constructing a perfect sentence.” I’m attempting to devise some good activities that can occur over the internet (worksheets are somewhat out of the picture). I’m thinking, due to the nature of his job, listening sessions will be really helpful for him.
