Home assignment: setting your goals

In week 2, you will be able to speak about your goals for this semester for 1 - 1.5 minutes:

1. Summarise the outcome of your SWOT analysis.
2. Define your goal(s).
3. Explain your reasoning (why is your goal SMART)
    and tell us what you are going to do to achieve your goal.     

Make your goals SMART:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable/Ambitious

Relevant/Realistic

Timely/Time-bound

For example:

By the end of the semester, I will be able to speak about three special education topics.

Ask yourself:

What am I going to do to achieve this goal?

For example:

I will expand my vocabulary by reading one specialised article a week/watching a video/listening to a podcast.

I will write down and learn at least five new words in this article/video/podcast.

I will tell a classmate of mine about each of the articles to practise using the new words in speaking.
