On Tuesday, I met with Anwer in the CIES lounge. We picked
up where we left off from the day before, using the same article about the
bilingual brain. We reread the outline that we made together, and I asked him
to give me a brief summary (verbally) of the article. He faced some challenges
with this, as the article was very overwhelming and level inappropriate. I told
him to focus on the important parts, and omit all of the details that are not
crucial information. Because this article had a lot of long words and details
of each experiment, it was hard for Anwer to distinguish what was important for
the summary and what wasn’t. But I assured him that we would get through it
together. So, we took the outline piece by piece and wrote a summary. I had to
help him a lot through this process, but after the first few paragraphs he started
to get the hang of it. Anwer said that the outline we made was very helpful and
so was the annotating. We also reviewed all of the vocabulary that he didn’t understand
from the day before and he wrote all of the new words down in his journal so he
could study them throughout the week.
