This semester, I made fewer goals for my learning journal.
I did this because I realized that, in a class setting, it's often difficult too many concepts when there are other students who also want to learn different concepts. Therefore, I have brought these topics up with my language partner, and we will be integrating my goals as well as other students' goals into the semester course.
I like this idea because I am also open to learning about topics that I did not think of to include in my learning plan. I am happy to learn about any topic in Korean as long as I feel that it moves me towards becoming more knowledgeable about the language or culture.
I think I do not have strict goals, for the most part, when learning Korean. I would like to keep improving at a steadfast pace, but I do not mind the topics I learn to get there. Overall, I like learning about topics that will help me conduct myself in speaking situations, as those are the situations I am most often in to speak Korean. Therefore, I put multiple goals in presentation speaking to learn more topics associated with speaking.
According to the Levels of Competence, I am, for the most part, all within the Intermediate 1 category. I think that I have learned a lot of new topics over the course of the past semester that have strengthened my standing in many aspects of Korean. I have also become more confident about my speaking, reading, and writing skills, and this encourages me to be more open about using the language instead of resorting to English.
I have contacted my language partner, and we will be meeting every Tuesday for two hours. It is fun because, with other students in the class with me, I can practice with them.
