Needs analysis of Hyunji, a Korean student currently studying at CIES.
Hyunji communicated that she seeks to improve her speaking and listening skills. Her understanding of English grammar is very advanced due to rigorous grammatical study in South Korea. Occasionally her accent hindered communication and I had to ask her to repeat the word or think for a few seconds to understand completely. She is humble about her flaws but does not let the fear of failure when speaking stop her from speaking. She is a confident communicator. She told me that with her previous tutor she frequently watched TED talks and then discussed them to practice both listening and speaking skills. I plan to follow this practice and add in occasional pronunciation practice at the end of our sessions.
