My Personal Plan of Work 

Learning Objective

Image result for goals

Learning a language is a process that takes time, effort and dedication. It is very important to be aware that learning is an individual process. Therefore, it is necessary to know what our motivations and expectations are, which strategies we can implement and which materials or resources we can use to improve our communicative skills. 


Task 2: The second step to prepare your Personal Plan of Work is to write a specific learning objective in English to achieve by the end of September. Before writing, take into account the diagnostic activities and the placement test to evaluate your abilities in the language and consider your needs, your interests, the proposed strategies, the materials and the result you want at the end of this first plan.







Example of objective: 

I want to improve my academic reading skill by investigating about different reading strategies. So I will choose 2 papers of my career, apply the reading strategies to the papers and do a power point presentation to my classmates of English class about this topic. I will reach my goal by the end of September.




August 17

In order to start your Personal Plan of Work, we are going to begin reflecting on the way you have learned the foreign language so far and defining your plan to follow.

Let's  start with your learning autobiography. Download this file and answer the questions:
