Julia TS #5- Berkay Session 2

 First, we began the session by discussing our week and debriefing the last session. We then jumped into some integrated speaking practice, as that's what Berkay struggled with most last week. I found an old TOEFL test for reference. We discussed strategies for integrated speaking practice and reviewed the typical format of integrated speaking question prompts, so Berkay can look out for specific details or context as he reads and listens. After he read the first passage, I asked him whether there were any words or phrases he didn't understand. I then asked him to summarize the passage he had just read in his own words to check for comprehension. Then came the listening section, and I read aloud a transcript from a psychology class on a topic similar to the paragraph he had just read. Berkay actively listened and attempted to make connections with what he read as I read the lecture. I ensured that after he finished listening to the lecture, he could summarize in his own words what he heard and make connections to the passage he had read. In this scenario, the lecture exemplified the concept introduced in the reading section. I recorded Berkay's speech sample and scored it with the official TOEFL integrated speaking rubric. We then repeated this process with a second practice passage, lecture and speaking prompt.
