This week, Dojun and I began our lesson with a review of last week's vocabulary. I believe that by implementing these regular reviews before moving on to other words will play an vitally important role for him in being able to actually retain what he has practiced. After stating the word I asked him to tell me what the significance of the word was either by definition or a synonym we had discussed in the previous lesson. If I saw that he was struggling to recall the word's overall meaning, I gave him guided support. I begin by first using the word in a sentence and asking him what the part of speech is. By understanding the way the word functions within the sentence he is able to extract more meaning from the context that the sentence provides. However, I've found that using multiple sentences works best in conveying the overall breadth of the word to him. As we discuss the different contexts and ways the word can be used, he is reminded of the significance of the word and how it is commonly used.
