Tutee: Wafa
It has been more than a week since I had seen Wafa last, she was pretty sick with a cold the week before and we had to rain check our sessions. The last time we met she asked if we could meet at a coffee shop instead of CIES so today I see her sitting outside of starbucks in a pink abaya. It is her favorite color and it is so nice how she is able to incorporate that into her life. We start talking about how she will visit her family after this session, and how she will continue to use English in her life. Wafa enjoys watching dark dramas and cites Breaking Bad and the Walking Dead as her favorite shows- I’ve seen both but because she wanted to work on prompts and reasons for preferences in sparking conversation, I sit on this for a bit. I can tell by her working to explain something in English that she sees in Arabic subtitles is a process that is good for her. Especially when she is able to say ….And this is why I like this show. She offers to buy me coffee to say thank you for our sessions and I brush it off, but I can tell she was hoping to be able to gift me something. We go over some new vocab words that she wanted more of an explanation of and we talked about the map and cities in her country to work through some of the prepositions she was mixing up.
