Basic IEL TS Reading
Volunteers also help run the small lending library by helping students choose abridged
books or helping them choose from a variety of magazines, listening or pronunciation tapes.
Volunteers sometimes help students make 20-minute appointments at the Pronunciation Clinic,
which is a sub-part of the Tutorial. Students can listen to tapes on individual recorders in the
Tutorial Clinic, or borrow some of them from the CALL Facility; volunteers help explain how
to do this. There is a TV with an 8-headphone listening station in the Tutorial, so a volunteer
can work with up to 7 students to help them understand the CBC TV daily news. ESL students
also arrive at the Tutorial wanting help with grammar, writing or questionnaires which they've
been asked to complete by their classroom teachers. The Tutorial has grammar worksheets,
writing information and general resource books which volunteers can use to help students.
Volunteers may also work directly with the students' classroom textbooks. There are also vo-
cabulary games such as Scrabble. Sherri is always in the Tutorial to help if a volunteer has any
questions.
