For Ahmed's third tutoring session, I brought a
graduate-level book, Imperialism, for
an intensive reading lesson. The book is about political economy, and is relevant
to Ahmed's major. So, he was exposed to vocabulary the he will see in graduate
school, and also he can become familiar with the structure of higher-level English books and papers. We
covered around nine pages, and I think the text was of an appropriate level for
Ahmed. After each paragraph or so, I would ask comprehension questions, and he
would ask vocabulary questions. He was able to answer all of my comprehension
questions, so I think he understood the passage very well.Also, we talked about
his thoughts on the cultural workshop. He seems to enjoy it and thinks it is a
good use of time. He thinks that learning about American culture is a good way
for him to learn English.
