Please look for signs indicating that the lab is in use. On these occasions tutorial sessions are moved into TA Offices 4.102A or 4.102C.
Strategies:
There are many ways to benefit from the Tutorial Center; here are a few suggestions:
- Have a purpose in mind for each visit.
- To practice pronunciation, read out loud and have the tutor correct your pronunciation;
- To practice listening comprehension, listen to the tutor with your book closed and repeat what the tutor says.
- To practice conversation, have an idea of something you'd like to talk about, and have a couple of sentences or questions prepared to start with.
- To practice grammar and vocabulary, use activities from the text (review or current material). Have the tutor ask you questions aloud, without your seeing them.
- The center is staffed by TAs working in many different courses, so bring your books and course packet with you so the tutor can use your vocabulary and grammar.
NOTE: Tutors may answer specific questions and explain usage, but no advance editing on compositions and homework.
