Step2 Primary Task -ISU

My peer tutoring class, ELDO DO, has been delightful throughout this semester since each individual has a dissimilar life occurrence. The host teacher and I have deep emotions about the class due to the students’ motivation towards learning. The motivation exhibits that the students are involved in class because of their willingness; it is not like some individuals who are forced to be at school. The most satisfying experience as a peer tutor is that students become more knowledgeable and confident with English to endure in such a different society, Canada. As time goes, the given tests and assignments become more challenging; however, it is commendable to see the students dealing with their work. Likewise, they are even pleased by any complicated tasks. The fulfilling incidents have an effect on me to develop better strengths as a sophisticated individual. Using English can be anxious for the students because English is their second language. Therefore, reducing stress is very important for them to enjoy learning. Fortunately, there is a student who has a great sense of humour that creates enjoyable working atmosphere. His optimism conveys everyone to diminish nervousness that is occurred in the class. For instance, we were talking about unpredicted experiences when we arrived to Canada. The student described an event that happened at the airport as they landed. His family was not familiar with an escalator. Therefore, his mother said “Toss your suit cases on that moving stairs!” Luckily, there was no one on the escalator. The story made everyone laugh and decreased headache that they had from grammar assignment.
I am grateful to support them to adapt different environment.
