Well there were 12 students today so a better turnout than the last couple of days.Afef who had missed 4 classes,apparently because of her son's illness,came today.
Today's lesson covered frequency adverbs,daily activities and a pronunciation spot on stress and intonation in social expressions,which the students enjoyed very much.After the break,I did a 'How often do you? mingle activity,which Makram found very funny.
Re:Interactions
In general there are much more interactions taking place when the students are working in groups of threes or fours.
Group 1:Afef,Marwa,Khaula,Kelly Group 2:Siema,Zied,Sadok,Nabil
Group 3:Houda,Ghada,Yoshi,Makram.
Kelly helps and supports the others in her group.Kied is quite proactive in his group. Houda,Ghada and Makram interact with the others a lot,though in the later activities where the students were talking about their daily lives Yoshi talked much more especially in talking about his volunteer work,he works at one of the Tunisian Ministries.
Nabil often appears as if he's not interested in the topic of the conversation but will suddenly start talking with the people from his group or another group.Siema often seems wrapped in her own thoughts.
