What is your ultimate goal? What is your goal for this semester?
What do you want to be able to do with this language at the end of this semester and in the future?
Ultimately, I would like to visit South Korea and be able to converse with natives and find my way around the country. I also listen to a lot of Korean music and watch Korean dramas and I want to be able to understand everything without subtitles. By the end of the semester, I hope to be able to give a brief bio about myself, write and speak in complete sentences, grasp basic grammar, increase my vocabulary, and begin to understand more of what I listen to and read.
What tasks will you complete and what activities will you do this semester to meet your goals? How will you document and evaluate your progress?
Novice learners should consult the ‘Language Tasks’ page of the SDLAP Wiki and incorporate the required tasks in their learning. Be as specific as possible when planning activities, e.g., “I will watch YouTube videos to learn how to talk about the family.” or “I will consult a grammar text to learn about possessives.” Make sure you include some tasks that are relevant to your interests, e.g., “I will learn to understand soccer commentary.” or “I will learn to talk about the stock market.” Culture and language are, of course, inseparable. It is expected that all your language will be culturally appropriate and that every task will contribute to your cultural competence.
