Are your goals for this year focused on what you’ll teach or what your students will be able to do with the language? In this episode, we’re talking about goal setting, for you and your students, in a way that’s centered on language proficiency, not just study habits or behavior. I’ll walk you through a practical framework to set meaningful goals that set you up and your students up for a year that’s focused, communicative, and confidence-building.

Topics in this Episode: 

  • why student goal setting is important
  • SMART goals and proficiency-based goals

  • choosing a focus area for setting teacher goals
