14th November


Julien informed me he loves MineCraft video game and would love to incorporate this with learning english, so I downloaded the application on my ipad and so we're going to learn prepositions, eg. Put a block behind this block, ontop, under, to the right/left, beside etc. He'll learn the different blocks in english. 

We'll watch some clips from Lord of the Rings. I'll ask him questions at the end.

4th November

I asked Julien if he had a good Halloween
We watched several clips from Starwars as he loves these films.

At the end of each lesson we talk about what he likes so that I can get some teaching ideas for the following week to help keep his interest. He loves Minecraft, the video game, so I promised him we'll spend 5 or 10 minutes talking about Minecraft the following week.

14th October

We watched clips from Pirates of the Caribbean and listened carefully to try and understand what was being said. I repeated the sentences and Julien repeated them after me. I gave him examples if he needed help with understanding and I asked him for some examples to make sure he understood.
