What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): As it’s the first time at this site, there was a preliminary walk-through of the lesson with the shadower and assistants. The tables were arranged to be more suitable for a typical PPT session. Only one learner arrived relatively on time while the rest arrived later but all within the time of ‘alphabet sheet’ with the exception of one learner. Although it’s the first session for all the learners, it didn’t take long for the model of ‘ready’ to be caught-up by all. Also, this being the first session, more time were spent going around the table in pronouncing the numbers as well as the title sentence which was in part to assess each learner’s level. There was a great sense of belonging after about mid-way through the class as learners started to help each other more in writing the abbreviations and addresses. The class ended on a high-note with everyone feeling good about the class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This class was submitted 1 week after the class. Though I was running very late – I showed up about 5 minutes before the class started. A few people were late, and we had 5 assistants (and a full office) the class went pretty well. I was surprised and honored that the VP, Duncan, sat in. I’m not sure if I remember one of the Shadowers name – Bryan? Learners mostly low skill, but several very connective and energetic. everyone relaxed into the activities after about 40 minutes, and it was a pretty good feeling for a first class. Shadowers on the whole very engaged and flexible, energetic. I think the group will be able to take this for their own without any problem.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Forgot to add this, so adding another entry. Although learners arrived relatively on time, due to building access issue, there was a late start which turned out to be ok as there were only 2 learners. Due to many extra assistants, we were able to pair up each learner with an assistant for a focused dictation practice. Also with additional assistants, more explanations were given for assistants to understand the motivation for each section of the lesson. After getting familiar with the lesson’s structure, both learners opened up a lot more towards the end of the lesson.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):All the learners arrived a bit late due to technical difficulties with the front gate, but all learners were able to participate fully in the alphabet activity. There was one new learner whose level is higher than most, so the class actually started with a spoken activity about the weather. With a total of 4 helpers including the MC and the DJ, all three learners had dedicated help with the dictation writing. Each learner was very open in sharing her experiences in SE Portland. There was a good connection between all the learners by the end of the class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):The class started on time. One of the learners brought her son which made it slightly difficult for her to focus especially closer to the end of the class. There was a lot of focus on pronunciation especially between ‘l’ and ‘r’ sound which has been difficult for most of the learners. After dictation, the focus was on recognizing various fruit names and with on-the-fly pictures shown, it made it easier for learners to comprehend.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Instead of the alphabet sheet, we practice speaking instead about the current weather. One of the learners brought a friend who came with her daughter, so some of the attention was given to ensure the children were not a source of distractions throughout the class. The main highlight of the class was when the MC was asking the highest level learner to provide the dictation sentences followed by the chorale response. This ensured the highest level learner was challenged throughout the lesson.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):All the learners arrived relatively on time except for one who arrived almost half hour later. However, this learner is a higher-level learner so was able to jump into dictation portion of the class easily. Also, name introduction took place so integration into the group was quick. Instead of the alphabet sheet, a whole sentence was given by assistants to practice speaking, similar to the previous Saturday class. There were two new learners whose level was quickly established by writing the dictation sentences. Due to a total of 4 assistants including the DJ, all lower level learners had dedicated attention from at least one if not multiple assistants.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We ended up having the class at the Chinese restaurant, and it was fun – we passed around a lot of objects, worked with the kids, had lots of help, and laughed a lot. the higher skill folks were wanting a little more, and we had a youngster who was wanting my attention a lot, but added to the fun.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We worked with material about ellis island, the map of the US, immigration history. One new learner was very anxious and low sklll level, and I struggled to get the folks to help each other. At the end, they asked to write things on the board, and I asked them to trust a little bit and try it out, and help each other.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): In this class, we switched the topic from what I had planned to shopping related language. It went pretty well, and we were able to make room for Wanna to step in and facilitate a lot of the class. She did very well, it was like a mini dress rehearsal. The only issue on engagement is one learner who doesn’t speak Cantonese was feeling isolated. I spent time working with her one on one to keep her engaged. The other parents really liked the shift in the style and felt motivated to keep practicing.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): many interesting things happened. We planned in advance and used Fred Meyer shopping circulars to work off the language. Robin worked on a shopping list, and we worked through a dialogue about where to find things in the store, which went pretty well. Unfortunately, one learner left halfway through the class.
