Class Report
Date: 01/04/2021
Student: Student A
Lesson: Public Speaking Overview | Level Test
Strength:
- Student A participated well in class. He responded to the questions and did the speaking activities willingly.
- During the role-playing activity (done as a level test), he was able to employ a fairly good pitch for his lines.
- He was very open to corrections and received them very well.
Areas for improvement:
- During the vocal exercise, he had a hard time doing tongue trills (=a movement of the tongue that sounds like one is continuously rolling an “r” consonant). We will work more on this drill in the next classes.
- During the reading activities, he had difficulty pronouncing some words that were mostly new to him.
- We will need to work more on his pauses and speech rate as he has the tendency to read his lines with less variety and understanding.
Overall comment:
Today is our first day of class and Student A was active enough and willingly took on the exercises provided for him. He was able to share some personal things during the 2-truths-and-1-lie activity. He also did the vocal exercises, although shyly. He had a hard time doing the tongue trills but he tried well enough. He also listened to and showed understanding of the quick overview on public speaking and the importance of voice, body language, content, language, visuals, etc. He read his lines willingly, although vocal dynamics are yet to be applied. He was very open to corrections and received them very well. Overall, Student A was respectful and displayed active participation the entire time.
Additional Note (for parents):
- Kindly test Student A's headset. It seems to be producing muffled headset audio. If possible, have him use another headset or earphones with better audio output.
