After a break, we returned to our tutoring session. I told Metab that he cannot continue to sit by Adel in their CIES classes and allow Adel to translate English to Arabic for him, or he will never succeed in learning. Instead I am encouraging him to use this new technique of listening to as much of the professor as he understands, while writing down and later asking about the words which he does not. We practiced that exercise a few more times, then I reviewed our lessons from the past few visits: kinds of nouns (people, places, things), pronouns, and possession. He still is having difficulty with the possessive pronouns, so I will likely work on these at our next meeting.
