ET6 THE BITCHES

Denny has the best behavior in her class. She is very polite and never rude to the teacher or any of the other students. She practices good pronunciation and good sentence structure. On her speaking tests she doesn't have a lot of confidence, so sometimes she doesn't answer questions correctly. Her written homework is good, but I would like her to practice in class more. She is very bright and should improve with more practice. Good work, Denny!

Harold is a smart boy with a large English vocabulary. Unfortunately, some of the words he knows are inappropriate for class. His discipline in class has improved, but needs constant attention. Harold needs to stay on task and avoid socializing with his friends. I hope Harold continues to improve his vocabulary while practicing good grammar and pronunciation.

Mark is the best student in his class. They are all becoming strong English speakers, but Mark is the hardest worker and stays on task in class. This is not easy because this class is having discipline problems and frequently needs very firm and strict guidance from the teachers. Mark's pronunciation is improving and I hope he continues to practice writing and speaking. He can read at a high level, and I can always call on him in class to answer a question. Thank you Mark!

Silver is doing well in English Time 6, and will continue to improve if she comes to class prepared. Some days she does not bring her textbook or workbook, this is unacceptable. She has a high level of English, but she does not want to practice speaking in class. I would like to ask her to come to class ready to participate. All you need to do is try, Silver!

Paul has been a very lackadaisical student with me. He does not appear interested in class, he does not complete his work, and sometimes he will not answer questions when I ask him directly. This lethargy in class has led him to be very distracting for his classmates, Mark and Harold. Paul needs to get his priorities straight and be ready to participate in class from now on!

Alice is a great student, but she seems to be lacking the drive she used to have a few months ago. I understand that she is a formidable English speaker, but she still needs to study and complete her class assignments with the other students. In class she should avoid speaking in Korean to really test and improve her speaking ability. This is going to be a big part of her English studies from now on, and I think she is ready to avoid speaking in Korean in class completely. Good luck, Alice!

Iris is a good reader. Her pronunciation is practiced, and she won't say a word unless she knows for sure how to pronounce it. This is good, but she can improve by speeding up her reading and speaking. Her vocabulary should be rather large by now, so I hope she tries to practice by using English in conversation with friends or her parents and teachers. Keep working, Iris!

Jinny has been very good this month. Her participation in class is astounding! I love that she is always asking questions and volunteering. Her pronunciation improves in class every day, and she is always improving her speaking skill in class talking with her teacher. Jinny is quickly improving, and she shows a lot of promise. A lovely student, thank you, Jinny!

Harry has been quiet this month, but he still participates with the rest of the class. I still want him to talk more in class so he can get help on his pronunciation. He reads well in class and understands what he reads, but his pronunciation definitely needs work. For improvement, I suggest that he reads out loud to himself or sings songs in English. Both require him to practice pronouncing English words, which is what he needs practice with. Enjoy some English christmas carols, maybe?

Jean was the top student this month for many reasons. Her work in the classroom has been admirable and both her comprehension and pronunciation are still very high. She achieved a perfect score on her speaking test, and that is a huge accomplishment. I'm sorry to see her change schools, but I know that she will rise to the challenge and enjoy success in anything she tries. Thank you for being a wonderful student, Jean!

Angel has continued to be one of the best students in her class. Her speaking test score is very good again, and I see that she has completed her homework as well. Her improvement in the classroom, with her speaking, pronunciation, and listening skills, has been good, but I think it can be better. She is sometimes the class leader, but other times she talks to her friends. Work hard in class too, Angel!

Ana has been very helpful in class. She is quiet, so I would like her to participate more with speaking and writing exercises during class time. Her speaking test score is good, but he pronunciation can improve. I practice with her in class, but she needs to try to change they way she says certain words. Ana also sometimes forgets to complete workbook assignments, she needs to keep up with the class with homework.

Jane is still one of the best students in her class. She got a very good score on her speaking test and continues to be a very good worker in class. She has improved her pronunciation, and is always participating in class activities. Jane is doing well on her homework assignments as well. She is advancing as an English speaker splendidly, keep up the great work, Jane! (but stay seated in class)

Julia is improving in class, but sometimes she does not complete her homework on time. I hope she can finish her workbook assignments and hand them in at the same time as the rest of the class. In class, she is very productive, and participates all the time. She follows the lessons and only gets distracted very rarely. Her pronunciation is good, but I would like to focus on her speaking so she can form sentences easier. Thank you, Julia!

Tina has been a great student this month and I hope she keeps trying to improve. She still needs to work on her pronunciation and speaking ability. Her writing and reading is very good but it seems like she doesn't focus on her speaking when she does her homework. She can make improvements by speaking every sentence on her homework (the questions, and the answers) out loud. Great job, Tina!

Rosy did wonderfully on her speaking test! I'm so happy to see her relax and get a good speaking grade on the test. Her speaking and pronunciation have always been very high, and she appears to have been practicing. Her homework is completed but in class she gets distracted and will walk around the classroom. Sit down, Rosy! She will improve in class with her speaking and reading if she stays in her desk! Good work!

Sam sometimes doesn't complete the workbook homework. I would like him to complete his homework, then practice his reading and speaking by reviewing his work and reading it out loud. He could even read it twice out loud! This simple reading out loud to practice speaking in English can help even the most inexperienced speakers. Sam has made improvements but I still want him to try harder in and out of class.

Peter is one of my most talkative students, in both English and Korean. I want him to continue practicing speaking in class, but I also want him to behave and stay seated in the classroom. Peter has a high level of comprehension and is very good at reading and speaking. His pronunciation needs to improve. He can imitate me rather well, so I hope he can listen to the textbook CD and try to mimic the pronunciations he hears from the audio. Peter has always been one of my favorite people in class, good job Peter!

Paul continues to be too quiet in his English Time 4 class. He participates when called upon, but sometimes does not try to speak in English. I think his speaking needs to be practiced more in class, as well as his reading. Paul also forgets to complete his workbook homework occasionally. I need him to finish this homework in order to keep up with the rest of his class.

Arthur is working on his pronunciation, I can tell! This is great! He will improve if he keeps practicing! He enjoys reading in class, and I am happy to help him practice. He could get better at reading if he could read along with the book and CD at home. If he already does this, then basic conversation will help him practice his English. Arthur is a very hard worker, and I'm happy to be his teacher!

Jenny has great pronunciation, but in class she sometimes does not take my corrections very well. She should listen and try to pronounce words like her native English speaking teacher. Also sometimes in class she will work ahead of the lesson instead of listening and following along with the class. I would like Jenny to work with her teacher and classmates instead of working alone, that way she will not make any mistakes. Wonderful job on her speaking test this month!

Jean is a fun girl and uses good English pronunciation. But she has been disruptive in class and this is hampering her improvement as an English speaker. She walks around the classroom, and at other times just avoids completing work. I would like her to finish her homework on time and to be attentive in class. Her progress is limited if she continues to lack focus in class.
