Assignment No. 5 – Important points about communicating when tutoring

I did the listening skills test twice, around 6 weeks apart and the scores were similar – 21 in the first and 24 in the second test.  One of my primary ways of learning is aurally and this is supported by the test which places my score as a good listener.

 I found after reading the information about communication I rephrased my questions more often and didn’t feel as panicked about waiting through the silence for answer – sometimes it’s really hard to bite your tongue!   I also started asking my student a lot more questions and if necessary giving hints (especially funny ones) rather than answering the question myself if saw them struggling too much. 

 I was unable to watch the video of the man speaking with sound as I don’t have internet at home and the Polytech computer suite computers don’t allow sound.
