Professor Ryan Fleming

Group 3 High Intermediate - Grammar


Professor Fleming begin the class by taking attendance and doing a review of week one.  In the first week of class the students discussed verb tense.  During the review Professor Fleming discussed whether or not the students understand verb tenses and their uses.  

After Professor Fleming completed the class review the class participated in playing the game "Guess Who".  The students selected partners to play the game.  The first part of the game the students had to make a statement about the "Quess Who" person and put it in a sentence.  An example of a few of the sentences are: 1) He don't have brown hair - He doesn't have brown hair.  2) He have white mustache - He has a white mustache. During the second part of the game the students had to ask a question about the "Quess Who" person and put it in a sentence.  1) Is she wearing a glass? - Is she wearing glasses?  2) He have white mustache. He has a white mustache.  The students were very interested and seem to really enjoy the game.  Professor Fleming completed a review and correction of the sentences the student came up with.  Professor Fleming discussed writing, speaking, and error correction with the students.  The students asked questions to get a better understanding of verb tense.

The last part of class the students had to write in 100 words or more about their best vacation using simple past tense.  The writing must include:  where they stayed, who they were with, what good food they ate, the fun things they did, and the most boring thing they did.  The class ended with Professor Fleming discussing assignments due next week and scheduled quizzes.

  Date: 8/26/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Listening and reading comprehension Feedback: This was a listening and reading comprehension activity inspired by Jean’s lesson. I talked with Hyobin about some American traditions surrounding the 4th of July. She told me about her experiences with it, which got her engaged in the topic of the content for the lesson. We watched a Crash Course video on the 4th of July, then she read the script for it, and then she did a comprehension quiz. I gave her feedback on her answers at the end, and we left some more time for discussion about other parts of American culture. Lessons learned: Having a variety of learning media is a great way to mix up the classroom. The warm-up discussion got Hyobin interested, the video solidified her interest and entertained her, and the script kept her focused.

  Date: 8/27/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Creative writing Feedback: Essay writing isn’t the only kind of writing, so I decided to teach Hyobin a bit about creative writing. She has a pretty active imagination, so we talked about how she could implement that into writing. We talked about some creative topics and then discussed each to see how creative we could get. I then had her try out some writing of her own, which I gave feedback on after.  Lessons learned: I learned it’s good to throw in some topics of interest to keep students engaged. Hyobin mentioned she liked writing, and I knew creative writing was something that could combine interests with an educational opportunity. I asked her how the lesson was, and the response was positive (proving my thoughts correct).

Date: 8/14/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Writing practice Feedback: In this session, I had Hyobin write an essay based on the sources she read in the previous session and the outline she came up with. Most of the session was dedicated to this, but I would give her feedback throughout when she brought questions to my attention. At the end, we had a few minutes for discussion, where I was able to give feedback as well. Lessons learned: I think I needed to give more time for writing, because expecting a lengthy essay isn’t entirely possible for a 1-hour session. We ended up needing to give more time to writing in the next session.
