Goal Setting: Step 1

As we are working to be our best language learners, we need to regularly check in on our progress toward our goals. Use the questions below to reflect upon the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the chapter.

My two short-term goals were:

• Goal:
  • Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?
  • Selection one:
    • I have achieved this goal
    • I made progress toward this goal
    • I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan
• Goal:
  • Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?
  • Selection one:
    • I have achieved this goal
    • I made progress toward this goal
    • I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan

My one long-term goal was:

• Goal:
  • Did you follow your action plan? In what way(s)? What worked? What didn’t work?
  • Selection one:
    • I have achieved this goal
    • I made progress toward this goal
    • I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan

How do you feel about your initial greatest fear about learning Spanish? Better? Worse? Why?
