Lesson 1, Level 4 (Intermediate) - Liliana (ISCSE FB group)
from English Out There · host Languages Out There
This was Liliana's first proper EOT speaking practice session. She'd asked me some questions in the FB teaching group about the lesson, just to confirm some things as she worked on it, which was cool.She was a bit nervous at the start, which was totally understandable considering she is a self-confessed nervous speaker, and she did extremely well in the conversation. There was a lot of good stuff in there and she loosened up as we went.I gave her a lot of time (40+ mins) and full answers to relax her and get some flow. At the end I explained how she would probably best approach her conversations with other practice partners. She has made friends with English speakers in Exeter (near me in the UK) and Dublin (Ireland, good another accent!) and her uncle lives in the US and speaks English...but she will keep sending out a few invitations (using words from the Social Media Tools) every day to keep building up her Personal English Learning Network (PELN).All in all...a great start by Liliana.
