111 Language Assessment/ goals

[Taylor Johnson]

Based on my work from last semester, I would consider myself at level 1 intermediate. Because I have been accepted to an intensive summer Ukrainian program, I decided that for this semester, I will not focus as much on grammar, but instead I will focus on listening comprehension. In order to do this, my language partner and I will watch Ukrainian films (starting with children's cartoons and working our way up to something more applicable like the news or a sitcom). We will also work together on things like listening to a dialogue and answering questions. We will spend the first month working with very simple material (cartoons designed for children) and then we will move to watching a show designed for more advanced audiences (sitcoms or game shows), and for the final month, we will try to watch the news. I anticipate that the news will be the most difficult to understand because they often speak quickly.
