Language Learning Goals
Abstract
The most important actions we take in our lives are easier when we have set goals, because they are extraordinary tools to know where we are going, why we are going and how we are going. The creation of a lesson plan should begin with a clear learning goal that prevents us from losing the path and provides teachers and students with certainty. Learning goals make our lives as teachers both easier and more difficult. Easier because they help us determine to what extent our students have really developed certain competences, they help us answer objectively the question have they learned? More difficult, because it is a challenge to set them.
