I have a couple objectives and goals in my learning plan. I think it is important to have set goals for a self directed learning language class because one could easily get off task in the subject of language.
There are two main reasons behind my learning objectives. Firstly, my grandmother only speaks in Korean, and I want to preserve my Korean language ability in order to continue communicating with her in the future. Secondly, I want to be proficient enough to past the comm2 Korean test so I can test out of it during college. I want to do this so I will be able to take more classes at UofR my senior year. I have always wanted to take a business class or a music class. In order for me to do this without having such a huge workload, I would have to test out of COMM2.
My first goal is to be able to read and write Korean at a proficient level. I want to be able to write letters, read sentences quickly in Korean, and be able to understand reading comprehension.
My second goal is to be able to speak Korean in a formal way, so when I talk to Korean adults in the future, I will be talking in a respectful manner.
My third goal is to be able to pass the COMM2 test in Korean here at UofR.
My last goal is to be able to understand a whole song in Korean and be able to write my own song.
These are my tentative goals for the semester and I hope to hit all or almost all of them at the end of the semester. I can take the COMM2 test next fall if I wanted so if I am not ready, I will be able to take another semester of SDLC next semester to further expand my Korean language skills. I will be meeting with my student teacher once a week for 2 hours and listening to Korean sports broadcasts and watching Korean TV shows.
