“Tutors have the task of delivering a social side of education‐‐the mortar to the bricks of the academic learning that students achieve at school. Good tutoring can make a child's experience of school, while ineffective tutoring can break it. Demotivation, demoralisation and despondency are all possible outcomes that sound tutoring can help avoid.”
Department of Language & Literacy Education
“As a tutor you are not concerned simply with whether homework has been completed or how well a child is getting through his or her work. You are concerned with the whole child.”

Tutoring as a context for teaching oral communication
1.Tutoring allows students the time and the occasion for oral expression
2.Tutoring is “safe” environment for practicing and experimenting with L2 speech
3.Tutoring offers opportunity for conversation in L2, not just monologic presentations
4.Quiet students have a chance to speak up5.Tutoring is individualized6.Feedback is immediate

Explicit modeling Talk about your thinking process – what you do to get meaning from the text. For example: "That's a new word. It begins with cl. I don't know how to pronounce the next part – ue. Harriet is a spy. It must be clue because spies look for clues.“
Implicit modeling When a child is stuck on a word you can suggest strategies he or she can use to figure it out. You might say, "Try reading the sentence again." "Try reading the next sentence." "Where did the boy go at the beginning of the story?" "Where do you think he might be going now?"
Tutoring Strategies for Speaking and Reading

Department of Language & Literacy Education
Choral reading Hold the book together and ask the child to read along with you. As the child becomes more comfortable with reading the text, lower your voice and let the child set the pace.
Echo reading Read aloud a line of text. Ask the child to read the same line. Continue taking turns reading and rereading the same lines. When the child begins to read with more expression and fluency, suggest that she or he read aloud on his own.
Paired Reading Sometimes you will read aloud together – duet reading – and sometimes he or she will read alone – solo reading. Agree on two signals the child can use to switch back and forth from solo to duet reading.

"The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its up wellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.

According to Jacques Cousteau, Antarctica is necessary to balance the climate of the entire Earth. He fears that human activity could interfere with the balance between the heat of the sun and the important source of cold from Antarctic waters that flow north and cool the oceans and atmosphere ("Captain Cousteau" 17).

Assignment Tutoring:The Tutoring Cycle-Observation Form(Adapted from Ross MacDonald, Tutor Evaluation and Self-Assessment Tool)
The goal of tutoring is to help tutees increase their confidence and learn how to learn independently, eventually reducing their dependence on tutoring. By following these steps, tutors can help tutees become more independent learners. This cycle can be adapted for all subjects, and for group, individual, and drop-in tutoring. Use this guide to monitor your own tutoring sessions.
![Page 18: Don Rubin - English-David-Yellindye.macam.ac.il/department events/2010/donald rubin/tutoring as... · Don Rubin. University of Georgia, USA. in collaboration with Paul Matthews, University](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021611/5c9f64df88c99317188b50c7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Department of Language & Literacy Education
Step 1: Identifying Task__2a. Provide opportunity for tutee(s) to take control and determine focus of session__2b. Use questions to clarify tutees’ immediate concerns. (“What is the hardest part for you?”)__2c. Restate tutees’ problems to help tutee understand what was needed and to focus activities for session.__2d. Use empathetic statements to help tutee(s) define the problem ("That part can be hard.")
Step 2: Setting Agenda__3a. Involve tutee(s) in setting the agenda (i.e. "We have ___ minutes today. How should we use them?" "What should we work on today?”)__3b. Require tutee(s) to state agenda explicitly to help him/her play active role in allocating time on each task.__3c. Readjust agenda when necessary, keep track of time.

University of Georgia, USA. in collaboration with Paul Matthews, University](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021611/5c9f64df88c99317188b50c7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Department of Language & Literacy Education
Step 3: Breaking Task into Parts__4a.Ask tutee(s) to break task or problems into steps. (“Show me how you did this in class;”“How do you begin?”__4b. Restate steps mentioned. Have the tutee take notes, if appropriate.__4c.Ask tutee(s) to explain the steps to confirm understanding ("OK, so now you tell me what we have to do for this kind of problem")

Department of Language & Literacy Education
Step4 : Identifying Thought Process (Strategies) Involved in Task
__4a. Ask the tutee(s) to explain the strategies learned in class for this type of problem/concept/thought process.__4b. Help tutee(s) understand the textbook/lecture notes.__c. Help tutee understand other sources of information (i.e. notes, handouts, workbooks, classmates, etc.) for solving problems. Tutor should not be only source of information.__d. Ask tutee(s) to explain the strategies learned to ensure tutees’ understanding for doing similar tasks when studying alone.

Department of Language & Literacy Education
Step 5 : Addressing the Task
__6a. Encourage tutee(s) to address task without overly directing him/her (i.e. "Where should we begin? What do we do next?")__6b. Respond appropriately, but do not interrupt tutees’thinking. Show attention without taking over. Pencil and paper should remain in front of tutee, not tutor.__6c. Encourage tutee(s) to do most of the talking/learning. Did not over explain or take control.__6d. Allow sufficient "wait time" (“10 Second Rule”) for tutee to do act, speak, or learn before you take over and explain.

Department of Language & Literacy Education
Step 6: Confirming and Reinforcing Confidence
__9a. Offer positive reinforcement, and confirm that tutee really did understand or improve. __9b. Congratulate tutee(s) for working hard and not giving up.__9c. Reassure tutee(s) that he/she can now do similar tasks independently.
Step 7: Looking Ahead
__10a Help tutee(s) anticipate what he/she will learn next that might connect to current task.__10b. Help tutee(s) understand how information from class, tutoring, and resources is connected.__10c. Ask future-oriented questions like "What is the next concept you will learn in class? How will what we did today help you?"

Expert tutors attend to motivational as well as cognitive outcomes (e.g, McArthur et al, 1990)
Presume that tutees are low in self efficacy (e.g., Lepper et al, 1993)
Presume that tutees are high in performance rather than mastery motivation
