I met with Junnho Byun on July 29th from 2:40 - 3:40pm. I asked Junnhu what he liked about learning English and what he didn't like. He really enjoys English and had nothing to say about not liking the study of English. I spent a little bit more time getting to know Junnhu. I asked Junnhu if accents were every challenging for him stateside but he said no, that they weren't. Then we went through and ranked what was most challenging to least challenging. Writing was most challenging for Junnhu. Reading was easiest for him. Speaking and listening were in the middle. I had Junnhu read three stories out loud, each story progressively getting a little more challenging. He seemed to really enjoy reading the stories off my kindle. His accuracy and pronunciation were very, very good. His intonation was age appropriately monotone so this is where tutoring can be useful for reading skills. After each story we would discuss what he had read and I would ask him questions about the content. I let Junnhu know that next time we would work on writing since he felt that is where tutoring would provide the most use.
