Student details
Name
Sultan Akin
Age Level
23 Intermediate
Notes
Sultan is a student attending a college in Germany. She
is half German and half Turkish. She is studying Spanish
in Madrid currently for the next 6 months.
Sultan has learned English back home in Germany
during her school years. She has never been able to
practice real life situations and has only been told the
formal structures. She wants to learn more “slang” and
normal conversation.
Her level is low intermediate to regular intermediate. She
has a decent vocabulary but lacks in the correct usages
of her grammar. Also, conversational talk is weak.
During our interview, she emphasized to me that she
wanted to travel more and do more study abroad. She
feels that English is a common language found almost
everywhere and by learning more English it will help her
in her future travels. She wants to focus on more social
settings topic but open to other ideas that I feel would
benefit her.
